Z cyklu „Layers of Prague”


Marcela Chrensťova

Praga – Praha

Czechy – Česká Republika



All photos were taken with my ragged paper pinhole camera called „Krabicák” – like the cheapest wine, sold in boxes. Krabicák was made from card boxes ripped to many small pieces. A lot of moving around the Prague gave me the access to this cheap material and I didn’t want to waste the chance for building my own paper pinhole camera.
Prague is like my rough pinhole camera – it is a city with so many layers... You can meet modern architecture next to the historical buildings, and if you go very deep under all of those layers, you can find the love to this overwhelming place.
I wanted to finish the circle of ripping with irregular borders of the photographs. So white paper on the edges created natural frames.
