Two Thousand Words is a photobook that analyzes the active resistance, but eminently peaceful, that was carried out in Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring. From its pages emerge several ancient images taken at street level by an anonymous amateur in August 1968, during the invasion of Soviet tanks that were deployed through the streets of Prague. Half hidden, by the assault of these photographs, is the text of the original manifesto in Czech, ‘Two thousand words’, by the writer Ludvík Vaculík, published simultaneously in several newspapers on June 27, 1968. The photobook is completely hand-bound and has a folding technique that allows it to be extended to almost six times its size, creating a sculptural piece that makes it possible to fully see the scenes of the occupation of Prague and the inside of the pages with the back of the snapshots.
