PHOTO BY MARIN TOPIC
   
 

In front of you there is a book of signposts, a bound map of hidden treasure, a music box with dancers of the light and sun.
In front of your is the magna charta vitae; a chart of fantasy.
In front of you is Ariadne's thread.The creative vision of Marin Topic, master of photography, or more accurately, master craftsman of light, who finds an answer for both himself and everyone who asks the question: Istria?
In front of you is the whole of one land, black, red and white, and under it giants are still drowsing, keeping fast the earth in their hand stretched out towards the sea.
In front of you are fishermen that reap the broad expanse and farmers that spread nets over the tired earth - they both have and have not.
A cluster of grapes from an overflowing basket. A drop of wine from a brimming jug.
A volume of pictures, an alphabet of an event.
In front of you there is a book.
If you have it, it does not mean you have not been.
If you have not been, it does not mean you will not come.
If you come, it does not mean you will go away.
But if you do go, take it with you, have it before you... Istria.
