Description
Parallel world, a state within a state, the Vatican of the secular... Buying a ticket for a carousel is easy, getting an interview with the secular world, or even going on tour with them is almost impossible. Kamila Hladká has been systematically observing this environment for the past two years in various places across the country and brings authentic stories from several generations of Czech carousel operators, capturing the quirky human fates, the unique and often strange atmosphere of fairs, caravans, carousels, shooting galleries, and haunted houses, which have been an integral part of our tradition and culture for centuries. The desire for freedom, the romance of a bygone past, life on four wheels... people from the carousel. ***** The publication comes with an afterword by Markéta Skočovská, who has long been mapping this area, along with period materials and photographs by Jan Cága, a holder of many awards and several Czech Press Photo accolades.
