postcards









I would like to present to you the story of my village, which is located in a small, quite controversial place, which in its time was mainly known as a brothel where women worked for minimal money and the behavior of the employees was not morally correct. this work focuses on the aesthetic elements of the building from the outside but mainly from the inside. I try to help the environment come up with something that fascinates me because since I was little I heard a lot about the place…. my main intention was to point out the very story that happened in this place and it was not so long ago. The case began in 2014 with the notification of a foreigner's illness with Legionella bacteria to the Regional Hygiene Station in Zlín. A foreigner died of this disease after returning to his homeland from a short stay in a wellness hotel in the Zlín region. Employees of the sanitary station took samples of drinking and hot water in the hotel and found up to 1,500 times the hygienic limit of Legionella bacteria After this story, I decided that it would be great to wonder there after such a long time and find out how the space works now. I was surprised by the premises, which look the same empty, even though the whole place is undergoing some kind of reconstruction, and I learned from the management that they are even "reviving tradition" and the place will be opened for its original purpose in the summer. the whole set of postcards shows a small nekale place of a brothel in a classic Czech village, where I come from, and breaks down the taboo of sexual topics and sex tourism and customer reviews from the time of opening until now. I would also like to introduce the definition of sex tourism, which refers to the practice of traveling to foreign countries, often to another continent, with the intention of engaging in sexual activity or relationships in exchange for money or lifestyle support. This practice works mostly in countries where sex work is legal. and therefore in our village I would divide the opinions of the residents about this place and the whole case into two parts, either you admire the place for its courage or you conservatively respond to its activity and inactivity
