With the support of the European Climate Foundation, the Sputnik Photos collective is carrying out a project related to the situation on the Oder River. Rafał Milach, Justyna Streichsbier, Michal...

The author of the photographs wrote thus: The primary function of my photographs is to be more in a given place. The secondary is to show others how I see a place with the hope that someone will find such a view interesting, or similar to their own. The decision to publish photos from Ponidzie is not an easy one, as there are probably hundreds of photos taken there every day, many of which...
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....
"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.

It does not end, whether it is reflected on paper or already beyond the sight of man. It continues even without our knowledge. That's why photography, especially photography....
Rafal Swosinski is one of those photographers who, instead of "philosophizing", simply prefer to photograph. And that he does not lack talent, beautiful photographs come out.... We are not interested today in the entire oeuvre of this author (there will still be time for that...), but only in a certain episode in his photography, namely the photos he took in Górka Klasztorna near Lobezenica....
One day I opened my eyes wide and saw that the world I knew and co-created was completely destroyed. The values, feelings and beliefs that were most important to me had completely disintegrated. I fell into a deep sleep where nothing made sense. All my life I thought that such situations could happen to anyone but me. I was wrong." When on...
