There Will Be Ecstasy Zine [2020]
Photography, Composition, Layout Design and Music Production.
Shot on 35mm and Digital Photography in
Prague, Czech Republic during March 2020.
Music inspired by the zine.
There Will Be XTC by Traumprinz was a track I happened to come across while I was at a store in Prague.
The track perfectly summarises my time in the city, being among friends, interacting with strangers and strange surroundings,
finding myself gliding through an ocean of euphoria and dysphoria.
This track is an attempt at capturing the constant shift in emotions, alien mental and physical surroundings and
the ephemeral infinite adrenaline rush I found myself in. I hope to evoke the essence of what this trip was and meant to me;
its unpredictability, serene and arcane nature induced with moments teeming with life and excitement.
And there was ecstasy.
About the artwork:
It takes inspiration from ecstasy stamps, a nod to the surreal and adrenaline filled adventurous trip;
Postage stamps indicating the location; A receipt featuring things and moments that made the trip special and
memorable for me, my friends the club Karlovy Lazne, a stolen and misplaced signboard, polaroids and film reels;
All of it packed in a ziplock seen at airports during security.
