A fold-out volume of interiors of former state and luxury hotels in the Eastern Bloc, designed in the 1970s and 80s and visited between 2008 and 2012 with an analogue camera, challenges the imagination to create its own space and story while wandering through cinematic empty rooms. At the artist's invitation, a novelist wrote a short story inspired by the images, one that could have been set in one of these spaces.
