CULT OF A DYING SUN

"And We Push Forward, We March On Into Nothing, Where We Belong ..." Singed in the song of the Uada metal band, which is called this picture. Anežka Hošková bet on him so her own hopeless romance, mourning over unfulfilled love, the transience of the existence and the crumbling world. Little in abandoned monasteries, magic and melancholic landscapes, in a crowd of sweaty bodies at the music festival. Romanticism did not remain at the end of the 18th century - its torn heroines and the heroes of today offer more than just escape from the sick civilization. In the middle of the ruins of late capitalism, they give their passage to their emotional slumps and ascension, absorb everything they fight against and for what they are crying and from all that laile and chaos somewhere in the mycelium is a breeding ground for a breakthrough, for the arrival of something new and unexpected.
