Healing Tales by Jiri Abendt

Healing Tales is a photographic fanzine by Jiri Abendt, an independent photographer whose work blends raw documentary moments with surreal flashes of nightlife, intimacy, and everyday poetry.

Created in the spirit of DIY photobook culture, the zine brings together images that feel spontaneous, honest, and emotionally charged. The photographs move between quiet fragments and chaotic moments — flowers illuminated by flash, intimate gestures, street scenes, and nightlife energy.

The project reflects a personal visual diary where photography becomes a way of processing experiences, memories, and emotions.

Rather than telling a linear story, Healing Tales unfolds like a collection of fragments — small moments that together create a sense of atmosphere and mood.

Printed in fanzine format, the publication embraces the raw aesthetic of independent photography publishing: direct, tactile, and unpolished in the best way.
