I Show People They Can Read Books Anywhere And Anytime
My name is Jakub Pavlovsky and I’m a 21-year-old supporter of reading books. I was born in Slovakia but I’ve been living in the Czech Republic for several years. A few months ago, I realized that people weren’t reading books as much as they did before. Nowadays, they prefer modern technologies rather than a lovely and interesting book. Of course, there are still many people who never forget about the beauty of stories written on paper. Unfortunately, there are more who just don’t appreciate it.
Therefore, I created a project called “BOOK’S CALLING” and I did it on social media – I want to spread a traditional idea through a modern system. The project’s motto is “Make Time For Reading. Anywhere, Anytime.” I keep the pose of sitting at the same angle and posture in all of the photos, as if the world and environment pivots around this pose throughout the day, every day.
I specialize in photography and my work comprises of reading portraits in everyday life. I hope to encourage more people to read and get lost in a book.

It's a wonderful message and the execution is well done. But could you tell us personally why reading is so important to you? I'm curious :)

I love it! There is something about the smell of a book and the places it can take me that I will never let go of.

Apart from not being able to sit like that for many, many years, I totally agree with your premise. However, you are missing the coffee

this is wonderdul! When I was a kid I proved I could read anywhere and be so absorbed, undisturbed into any circumstances: my mom took me shopping to the supermarket and left me at the books' section; I sat on the floor, took a book and started reading... until I look around and saw the suppermarket completely deserted. I then heard my mom shouting my name, but decided to go back to my book. with security guys she took me and removed me from the bliss i wa in. It was then i realised the foul smell: the supermaket got evacuated because someone dropped a bottle of ammonia... right in the book section. I was there, next to it, the whole time, not smelling a thing. I am now immune to ammonia smell. I am also aware that the whole world can collapse around me and i would not cre if i am reading a good book.

V rušnom obchoďáku by som si knihu asi nevedela poriadne užiť, ale nápad skvelý! Btw, tiež už žijem v ČR nejaký ten piatok ...:)
