Artur Panczakiewicz - "Silence."
I tell the story of silence through photography. The inspiration is John Cage's piece 4'33" - its score could be white sheets of paper.Silence in music, which has its own weight and volume, is important because it creates space for emotions to resound. The non-acoustic silence, the silence of the inner landscape, as a state of consciousness, is the one that directs us towards ourselves. The silence of the silent cosmos, the harmony of the spheres....
Maciej Bonk - naturalist with an analog soul
My first feeling after seeing some of the photographs sent by Maciej Bonk to the Youth Portfolio was: I want more! I immediately contacted the author with a request to send more photos, He sent and so our eyes can enjoy longer.Although the author is a young man, looking at his photographs I had the impression that his fascination with "nature" in the broadest sense, also...
Do you still remember me? PRL in the lens of local press photojournalists on the example of Cieszyn
Much more can probably be said on the subject by art historians or cultural scholars involved in the preservation and study of the photographic archives left behind by photojournalists employed until 1989 in the editorial offices of local weekly newspapers, covering mainly medium-sized cities and their adjacent regions, since the local so-called county press (in today's form of municipalities and...
Traces of ancient Oman by Jerzy Wierzbicki
Jerzy Wierzbicki's photographs of Oman in recent years both have something in common with and differ from his earlier works. In such series of works as "Gdańsk - Suburbia" (1995-2004) and "Post-Industrial Silesia" (2001-2006), he dealt with places that have suffered from the economic crisis.His attention was drawn to the devastated architecture and general temporariness of...
Michael Konrad - a self-portrait of thought
If I had to answer the question of what photography is, I would answer that creating an image, the basis of which is independent thinking. If someone were to ask me what life is about, I would answer similarly - that life is about independent thinking every minute of it. For several years I have been making self-portraits, my figure has become an indispensable part of my photographs, using...
Ray Cook
The cover of a recently released publication dedicated to Ray Cook depicts him as a juggling clown surrounded by celebrities. This performer is magnificent, clever and talented. He brings to my mind the theater of the absurd, which is still not out of date. Indeed, in his references to homoerotic fantasy, the artist is reminiscent of writer Jean Genet.Nevertheless, with works dating from the 1990s and the first...
Alain Balmayer - America secondhand
The United States of America is - in addition to everything else - also the realm of photography. As early as 1888, Georges Eastman launched a camera capable of taking 100 photographs. From that moment, photography began its massive career as a national hobby, and on this basis Kodak company built its empire.To be fair, it must be added that at the same time Americans...
Apocalypse according to Christopher Miller
Polish photography chronically suffers from a lack of figures, if not legendary, then at least of great stature. One of the few shrouded in an aura of contemporary authority is Krzysztof Miller.Born in 1962, Miller, like many of his contemporaries, not only participated in the events of martial law, but also actively began to convulse the decline of communist Poland with photography. In the second half of the 1980s, he approached the circle of...
