The death of my grandfather: his first meeting with his grandson and his final departure.
It takes me back to the village, to the soil where I grew up —
to land soaked in wounds and the weight of a lost identity and a myths.
This book becomes a testimony of time, both within and around me.

Through raw, scanned film — contact sheets — it offers an unfiltered path:
a dialogue with photography, composed cinematographically.
Unlike darkroom prints where words on them remain cryptic and meaning elusive, here, in The Land Cracking Beneath Us, and the Tree, text is handwritten individually in each copy and speaks directly.

The narrative expands through the inclusion of lyrics and sound by the band STATICO.


Underline meaning / essence of collaboration in Vutuc work as well music with a statement.

The lyrics of the song “State of Delusion” slide through the pages,
intertwining with the words of Mak Dizdar and intimate, personal reflections.
The story is wrapped in red fabric and exposed to light — creating unique cyanotype prints that carry the weight of memory, loss, and transformation.

27 x 19 cm, Cyanotype cover on fabric. Stencil duplicator and pencil. Written lyrics from Statico. Risograph, collage, handwriting, insert with rhodoid paper. Each book includes a download code of STATICO album "Absurdity of this world". Comes with a plastic sewed slipcover. Limited edition of 17 unique copies, numbered and signed.
