May 10, 2024, at 6 pm to the small KONTRAST Photography Gallery in Oborniki Slaskie, for the opening of Janina Hobgarska's photography exhibition "Places are not immovable" The exhibition will last until June 30, 2024. Admission is free.
The sites are not immovable-
They are changing their spaces,
They are taming more and more new territories.
Places follow us, revealing only for a moment an open field of illusion.
Here they change to There,
Now becomes Once.
They wander along familiar trails:
Tracking minor episodes,
Fascinating encounters;traces of presence.
They radiate magic and nostalgia .
They move through time,
They make secret agreements with us.
Once becoming concrete, at other times a barely graspable premonition.
They discover and hide,
They promise and entice
Places.
They are the ones who choose us.
