Even an empty landscape is full of vague presences for me, actually a landscape cannot be empty, it always takes form. When I face the space, I am in it at the same time, and when I am left alone with it, being like a medium, I sense a gentle vibration, it is emptiness. Marek Noniewicz, Skrzetusko square by the Construction School Complex, Bydgoszcz, 2004 (now altered) "Machines....
"Boxing is not chess - here you have to think". - this golden thought of Jerzy Kulej, Olympic boxing champion from many years ago, has gone down in history not only of funny sayings of athletes. It was so surprising and "improbable" that it prompted... thinking, which, however, does not have to be boxing. Michal Lewandowski is a chess player, but also a photographer with a love of nature, who, with the help of...
The photographic image is not something invented, but something found ...
Pawel Zak is one of those photographers who, with incredible lightness, can use what the old masters used to call "the light of the image." The repeatedly shown and awarded series of his photos entitled "Stories" is an eloquent example of great visual culture in an artist whose works completely belong to the latest currents in contemporary photography. "Stories" is, in my opinion, a multi-layered ...
"White and Red" is a long-term social project of documentary filmmaker Marek Lapis, who uses the medium of photography to describe how the colors white and red function in the consciousness of society. In times of transformation and turbulent contemporary social and political changes, these colors take on special significance in public space. The photos that make up the publication "White and Red" come from about 200 trips throughout...
Marika Kuzmicz: Margaret, let's talk about your life so far and your relationship with art, which started when you were a child. You had extraordinary parents. Can you tell at least a piece of their story and thus about your first contacts with art? Malgorzata Potocka: I had a rather luxurious situation - in the sense that I didn't face incomprehension. When...
Julia Stachura: What is your first memory related to photography? Kamila Kobierzynska: I could echo Marcel Proust - we deal with what we lack. When I was a child I liked to look through photographs by pulling them out of drawers and boxes from time to time, but no one ever told me about them - I just looked at the pictures. I remember that one ...
There is probably no photographer who has not taken a self-portrait. The most famous among the pioneers of the invention of photography was certainly Hippolyte Bayard, who as early as 1840, photographing himself as a "suicide," expressed his great regret to the whole world that it was not to him that the palm of precedence in the invention of photography was awarded, but to some Daguerre or Talbot. Also, later artists very...
On the memorable January 8, 1959, Fidel triumphantly entered Havana. He had won his "revolutión." I didn't get to talk to him the first time, but I did manage to exchange a few words with Raul Castro, Fidel's brother. Raul told me that in the city of Camaguey they would be trying and dismembering counter-revolutionaries and would I be willing to witness these events? Very politely...
