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....

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...

Jerzy Wierzbicki's photographs of Oman in recent years both have something in common with and differ from his earlier works.

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...
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 He brings to my mind the theater of the absurd, which is still not out of date.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...

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...
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...
