The book Nuotraukos dokumentams / Photographs for Documents contains 40 double-portraits taken by Vytautas V. Stanionis (1917–1966) in Seirijai, a small town in southern Lithuania and commissioned by the Soviet authorities in 1946. Usually two unrelated individuals were portrayed in each photograph due to shortage of materials in postwar Lithuania; portraits that were later separated. The images were found years later by Vytautas’s son, also called Vytautas, who was exploring his father’s archive.
Berlin based book designer Tom Mrazauskas created this beautiful publication, crafted with special attention to detail. He chose Soleil, by Wolfgang Homola, as the main typeface. Every image was visually cut into half by folding the pages, avoiding repetition and creating a different rhythm. The duo-tone plates were printed on thin uncoated stock. Published by Kaunas Photography Gallery in 2013 the book has received several awards.
The designer Tom Mrazauskas told us how Soleil was the perfect fit for this book. His starting point was a "geometric typeface, used all over the Soviet Union, mostly for setting text in magazines, but he wanted to have a modern version". Mrazauskas also pointed to the parallels between the cold approach of the passport photographs and the pure geometrical forms of the typeface; and how at the same time there is a personal character in the photographs and a humanistic touch in Soleil. "Everything worked together".

Invisible Cities / Le città invisibili
.
"It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear,” writes Italo Calvino so beautifully in his novel 'Invisible Cities'. He describes distant places, so remote we may never reach them. We all have these cities deep within us, beating as one with our own heart.
.
When I first met Laila, a Palestinian chef living in Paris, she told me about her grandmother in Hebron (al-Khalīl), about her parents, about pigeons roasted in sumac, and how her family had to flee one day, suddenly, leaving their home behind. forever. There were tears in her eyes, as she remembered Hebron of her early childhood, and Jerusalem covered in snow.
.
We have met so many times since, laughing and dreaming of the future, but if you could only hear her sing so beautifully all those songs of Umm Kulthum, with the musician from Gaza beside her plucking the strings of the Oud, you would then hear the sound of longing, for all that has been lost and shall never return.
.
In this entanglement, there is only one possible path, which leads straight into the jumble of relationships, between the cities - as living spaces, and human beings - who dream up these places and tie into them all their passion and anxiety, that are with us always. It is a journey of regret and forgiveness, and a desire to live in dialogue where each of us offers the other this ethical claim for the right to exist, to equality and love.
.
On the Hummus Route is a futuristic journey, and if we had one more chapter added to this book, it would have definitely been about Hebron, al-Khalīl of Laila’s grandmother, and about the Hebronite cuisine, with pigeons in sumac, and this long line of beautiful, powerful women who sing and dream of one day realizing their right, which so begs to be, to return, to that one place. To that invisible city.
