Systematic study of ceremonies
In the context of Arnold van Gennep's scholarly dissertation "Les rites de passages", which is, as the subtitle states, "A Systematic Study of Ceremonies", the choice of baptisms, communions, weddings and funerals as subjects of a photographic series under the title borrowed from the French anthropologist seems to be a most justifiable step. However, in Przemyslaw Pokrycki's extensive project, carried out since 2005, funeral rituals have become...

Transgression - Magda Hueckel and georgia Krawiec
I am, I exist, I live. Three words, none of which brings us closer to the mystery of our existence. I and my body, the world and my reality in it. The eternal lessons of darkness*. The body is the visual evidence of our being, the bridge between the spiritual interior and the external material world. Uniquely, it happens to a person to establish a thread of communication with the individual - other - interior....

Doublespeak on Kusheli
When photographing the places that inspire him, Maciej Kuszela also tries to emphasize the personal nature of this inspiration. Therefore, the final form of these images is usually the result of various additional manipulations, which may be surprising when juxtaposed with the fact that the term "photojournalist" appears so often in the author's biography. However, it is understandable that when a photograph is created out of a purely personal need, it...

Alain Turpault - enchanting the world
With photography it's a bit like witchcraft: the darker it gets, the closer it gets to other worlds. And since darkness is not conducive to color, shamans like to resort to forms of existence at the edges of perception. From the dawn of time, photography has had something of a shamanic ritual about it, both in the technological aspect (darkroom) and the ritual that accompanied it for many years....

Beetles, toddlers, Trabants and other mermaids
"This is actually a series about death," declares Wojtek Wilczyk when asked about the subject of his latest series Life After Life. If the photographs of parts or whole car bodies turned into roadside advertisements, flowerbeds and decorations at the end of their life encourage us to contemplate the passing of time and the transience of existence, they do so in an emotionally neutral way. The documentation created by Wilczyk...

Martin Parr
There are few personalities among contemporary photographers as popular, influential and respected (and as often criticized) as Martin Parr. This is not only because of his numerous works, which have played and continue to play a major role in the development of both British and international documentary photography, influencing countless photographers around the world, but also because of his other...

Melancholy of light in the photographs of Jakub Pierzchała
Philip-Lorca diCorcia took a photograph in 1978 showing his brother Mario. The figure depicted in the photograph looks into an open refrigerator, illuminating the interior of the kitchen and the face of the portrayed with unnatural light. Undertaking an analysis of this work, Peter Galassi drew attention to the apparent ordinariness of the situation, occurring as a result of photographic direction. According to Galassi, diCorcia's experiment turned "a mundane event into an enigma." According to...

Cathartic rituals "Sauna" by Igor Omulecki
Looking at Igor Omulecki's work, one can get the impression that his photographs function above genre divisions, usually defining the internal dissimilarities of the medium of photography. Most often his name is associated with documentary, although this notion has been significantly blurred these days. Omulecki also not infrequently takes directed photographs, in which - unlike documents - the leading role is played by subtle...

The intrusiveness of realism in the photographs of Sandy Skoglund
With the end of the story, the reader makes a decision [...], chooses one solution or another, as a result of which he gets out of fantasy. If he decides that the laws of reality remain untouched and allows the explanation of the described phenomena, we say that the work belongs to another genre: the uncanny. If, on the contrary, it decides that, given the phenomenon, a new law of nature must be considered....
