Pasternak’s drawings are motivated by experiences of wandering and gathering images in the urban sphere, as well as images culled from the realm of memories or dreams. The drawings in this book depict small, everyday scenes; they are largely autobiographical images and many of them contain the artist’s figure. Most of the situations are intimate and non-heroic, and describe moments of excitement, embarrassment, shame or absurd events; some of them resemble small private rituals concealed behind closed doors. These images are all translated into small formats resembling snapshots and are drawn in a colourful palette, characterized by excess and a focus on decorative details.
