The combination of archaeologist and documentary filmmaker must produce interesting results. And this is exactly what happens in the case of Wierzbicki. In his series, with the scientific precision of a researcher of the past, he reveals to us the secrets of the desert, which, contrary to popular belief, is not empty at all. As he says: I roam around desolate places and photograph what people leave behind in this boundless landscape. Some "constructions"...
- I once pushed a police officer away to take a picture. It wasn't until later, when I got home, that I realized it was a "violation of the bodily integrity of a public officer on duty," which could have ended very badly for me, is how Piotr Nowak confessed to me recently. He was photographing, as he does every year, the Wrzesnia Music Weekend, or rather, as he usually does, the...
If he could, he would have taken pictures of the Dalai Lama, Picasso and Kennedy. He believed that laughter had no value in portraiture. He loved the sense of mystery and loved to photograph in black and white.

His photographs not only seduce with visual magnetism, but say something more to us and about ourselves. They are an example of composite beauty, which we can explore and discover by penetrating the various layers, encountering that "proper" beauty for the author and viewer, which in...
- With a certain shyness I took out of the drawer my text from years ago, which, I believe, has not grown old, because the Boguslaw Biegowski exhibition analyzed in it, one of the most important in his oeuvre, has never been shown in large professional galleries, except for the episode in Wegrowork, which I refer to in my text - so began the letter of Krzysztof Szymoniak, who...
You ask what in my life of all the main thing, I'll tell you: death and love-both both. One I fear with black eyes, the other with fashionable ones. These two are my love and two my death. - Jan Lechońcolors fade symphonies quiet bells are heardlet us rejoice our hearts ...
