The Prague Castle
Na Pražském hradě
Skip to sidebar
An intricate study of Prague castle shot with a handheld camera and created in close collaboration with the composer František Bartoš. Did the shapes of the building, its symmetries, architectural arcs and lines provoke the sounds, or did the music reveal itself in the architecture?
