- 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...
27.01.2023 (Friday), at 18:00 / S. Staszic Museum, Pila, 18 Browarna St. / The exhibition will be on display until mid-March 2023Meditations on the way to the Holy Lady"Holy Lady" by Piotr Speka is a somewhat confusing exhibition, built from frames that cannot be easily and unambiguously read. One can guess what is written on them, because the author does not...
January 20, 2023 / hour 18:00 / City Gallery in Środa WLKP / 16 Stary Rynek StreetThe photographs presented at the exhibition did not arise as a result of some methodical thought, nor are they the result of planned action. For years they have been accumulating and multiplying in the archive in a completely spontaneous and uncontrolled manner. Most often they do not perform any function...
Arthur is an ultra-subjective and uncompromising photographer; he recognizes only the traditional technique, i.e. analog, personal processing of the negative and the print. Each copy is made with his heart and mind, and the goal of his photographic activity is to express the inner self, what is inside him and worthy of being revealed. It doesn't matter where he photographs, what matters is how and that he is the one with total power....
I look at the shadow cast by the tree. The white man's civilization begins with a "tree of life," and each individual is entitled to a pair of planks at the end of his life. Without wood, there would have been no Noah's Ark or Christopher Columbus. Nor would there likely have been a kola or a cross. Without the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil," there would have been no original sin, and thus no trees....
It is very often the case that when looking at such photographs, a person cannot in any way deny the claim that photography is a certain form of mourning the world.Lukasz Romanowski, Mr. JasiekNowadays we can see very clearly with what tremendous speed everything we knew, our parents knew, our grandparents knew, is simply disappearing. Photography has always had the task of capturing, stopping...

Looking at the photographs Maciej Sztorc sent to us, my first thought was to remember a saying by Andrzej Jerzy Lech: "the most important thing for your camera is what is 15 meters away from it."The meaning, and therefore also the implications of this phrase, are so capacious and extensive that developing it one could write many a dissertation. One...
It is said that a photographer should always have a camera with him, but in reality is this always the case, has it always been so? Is it only the professional photojournalist on his shoulder who inseparably carries a bag in which he carries a tool for capturing images of life? A full-time photographer can often enter where an ordinary Kowalski can no longer, but even in this case....
