      Před osmi lety začal mladý dokumentární fotograf Imrich Veber intenzivně zaznamenávat prostředí opavského Mariana, zařízení poskytujícího sociální služby klientům s mentálním či vícenásobným postižením. Celá instituce tou dobou zároveň procházela (a dodnes prochází) transformací a proměnou koncepce sociální péče, která se pak stala ústředním tématem Veberova souboru. Vznikl tak v rámci České republiky jeden z nejzajímavějších dokumentárních cyklů posledních dvaceti let.

As founder and president of EXOS, Mark Verstegen has trained the world’s top athletes in sports including the NFL, Major League Baseball, and worldwide soccer powers, along with the most elite “tactical athletes”—U.S. Special Operations Forces personnel.

In his new book, Verstegen presents his most hardcore program yet: a demanding system that challenges readers to perform at the highest level.
