The contrasting nature of the North makes one realize that in addition to the fairy-tale nature colored in watercolors by master illustrator and king of children's fantasy John Bauer, full of unusual creatures derived from Swedish folklore, there is also a nature full of anxiety, darkness and mysticism, reminiscent of Nordic shamanism and Old Scandinavian sagas. Bauer's illustrations captured the imagination of generations of Swedes. They believed that nature was a product of...
Looking at the photographs of Weronika Jedrzejczak, we notice in the first place the coherence of the series, we can see that all the photographs belong to the same series, that they are not a collection of random and not much in common photos, which were given only the same signboard in the form of a title.

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.

While dance expresses the pure energy extracted from the darkness of the human body, photography depicts the light that comes from it....
Various sets of stories, often very personal, exploring the history of one's own family, come to our box marked "Youth Portfolio." One such story was sent by Kamil Sleszynski.

- How would you start living if you found out you had one year to live? - Peter M., a long-time friend of mine, once asked. I care less about how he answered his own question, but I was reminded of this incident when I picked up a book by Krzysztof Slachciak entitled "More likely we are not special," where the author asks the question: are we special?....
