Untitled - David Mužík

This digital photograph was captured in 2008 and is part of series called Opravdu (Really).

Author: Truthfulness – that's what I'm amazed about. It's everywhere around us all the time, but to actually experience it is so seldom although it's so natural. And then the emptiness it leaves in us is like a period in the middle of a sentence. The chance to keep on, tell the rest, is gone for a while again.

For personal reasons this photo photo is somehow mystical to me. I'm fascinated by casualness of the whole situation in the capture. Total harmony between living creature and it's habitat – absolutely natural but so fragile.

Honza: I'm on the other hand attracted by spurious unnaturalness of dog sleeping in the forrest as if it was something regular. Luckily animals are still pretty common in the open. But retrievers? My neighbor has two of them and we all take a lift together from time to time. I guess it affects my perception of naturalness. Dogs run in forrest, rest, eat... I'm used to that. But sleeping dog in an forrest is as natural to me as alive deer in the living room.

This photo has very similar spirit to free other photos by David Muzik we've released – they all give me enough room for my imagination and I can engineer my own theories for what's going on in them. I don't even want to know the “truth” because I'd lose a big portion of what attracts me to them – mystery.
