The paper presents prints as postcards from Israel, with images and texts from the trip. The country is seen not from the perspective of a tourist carrying a guidebook, but one getting off the beaten track. The article presents places worth drawing and putting on metal plates. The theme here is unusual arrangement of things, people and animals transferred to an unfamiliar territory, calibrated, copied and multiplied, retaining their real look, which is called here imagined realism. The traveller’s matrices are covered with fine careful strokes and dots. As a result, reflected in grey and ochre shades, silver and gold, they allude to landscape colouring. Silver is intended exclusively for golden desert urban landscapes.
