He was returned to the years, months, and days they spent together by the scores of materials from trips they made to location-scout and film together. In their last two years together, they had visited various research centres and public institutes as they started to prepare and shoot 'Chronicle', the film they were to make together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese excursions into the past happened in various stages, from Kollar’s original inability to bring himself to open the archive, through to periods of obsession during which he was unable to stop browsing through the multitude of photographs of his and Maria’s past life. What gradually started to emerge from the pictures were hidden contexts and threads he had not seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKollar started to assemble them, but not with the aim of reconstructing their life. Instead, he sought to express how the before transcends into the after; how the most anticipated events always find you unprepared.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSilkscreened linen hardback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 x 25.5cm, 64 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-913620-34-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOctober 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127518564576,"sku":"","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover620_860x_845aba99-c7fa-480e-9027-03deb2d0128a.jpg?v=1642032955","url":"https:\/\/todomodo.live\/products\/after-martin-kollar","provider":"Todo Modo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
