Story about photography:
"Strange feelings overwhelm you when you look at the majestic ruins of the old castle. It radiates strong mystical and mysterious energies. No wonder, because this place has been for many centuries a scene and witness to countless events that have significantly affected the lives of thousands of people.
Behind the walls of this ancient castle, people found a safe haven from the invasions of the bleeding Mongols, and later the brave defenders of the castle successfully repulsed the attacks of other conquerors. The rattling of the weapons seemed to be felt in the air even today.
But it's not just battles, bits and wars that are associated with the castle. Rich feasts and exuberant pastimes of the nobles took place in its great halls, stories of loves, relationships and friendships were born and developed in the rooms, and life stories of hundreds of people were written.
Today, only ruins remain of all this. However, we subconsciously perceive that the ruins of the castle are not just an inanimate heap of boulders, but that they still radiate invisible, indefinable energies - traces of the fate of the people for whom this castle was once the center of their world. The spirit of time is still here and it affects us very intensely. Especially when he is assisted by the mystical phenomena of nature - sunrise or sunset, haze, thick winter inversion, night sky ...
In these moments, as if time has stood still, the ancient past merges with the present, the earthly world, and we in it with the infinite universe.
It is these moments, these feelings, that capture the photographs of Marek Kopnický. And that's why it's good to have them at home ..."
