Part of the ongoing project The Stucks that is based on a found photography archive, the book reflects on the notion of fatherhood and the image of an ideal father. It is conceived as a chronological documentation of family holiday trips, intertwined with short poetic texts and musings, as written by close-by observers. The writings and even the chronology are entirely fictional, as there is no real clue about the identity of the persons photographed or the years these photographs were taken. The only reality is the images themselves, and they are open to subjectivity.
