Eggshells<\/em> consists of enlarged details of various photocopied drawings. Taken from the original context, they merge into a new, disordered and illogical narrative. The book works as a visual interpretation of the proverb \u201cMaking a mountain out of a molehill\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tadej Vaukman in Pubes<\/em> uses the same image from childhood on each page of the zin. He combines it with text. The memory of the pubertal experience opens a broader exsistential theme of the author.<\/p>\n

The author used default photos from the family archives, his father\u2019s legacy. These are snapshots of everyday life, documents of hanging out with friends, joint trips, travels, images of landscapes. We do not recognize most locations, nor do we recognize people. Father\u2019s photos (photos of a forester) are a lost memory.<\/p>\n
