„Kniha je zložená z autotypií kombinovaných s ručne písanými textami. Tieto texty pochádzajú od môjho otca a vznikli v období jeho boja s Alzheimerovou chorobou. Autotypie sú vytvorené z matrice – portrétu jeho otca nájdenom v rodinnom archíve. Samotná kniha je obšitá ochrannou gázou. Dielo dokumentuje postupnú progresiu ochorenia, smerujúcu k nevyhnutnej strate schopnosti pokračovať v bežnom živote.“

“The book is composed of autotype prints combined with hand writing. Hand writing of my father during the period of his fi ght with Alzheimer’s disease. The autotype prints are made from a matrix – a portrait of his father found in the family archive. The book itself is sewn with protective gauze. The book captures the gradual progression of the disease towards the inevitable loss of the ability to continue.”
