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 had suffered from the economic crisis. His attention was drawn to the devastated architecture and general temporariness of...
Descending into the depths of the body - photography by Larys Lubovitsky
"Do you see these humps, these hills on the left side? That's the pleuritis your cousin had in his fifteenth year. [...] Do you see these caverns here? That's where the venoms that intoxicate him come from. "1 Experiments in recording microscopic images date back to the early history of photography. Among the many inventors attempting to photograph the fascinating microstructures of the world (they include...
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...
Systematic study of ceremonies
In the context of Arnold van Gennep's scholarly dissertation "Les rites de passages", which is, as the subtitle states, "A Systematic Study of Ceremonies", the choice of baptisms, communions, weddings and funerals as subjects of a photographic series under the title borrowed from the French anthropologist seems to be a most justifiable step. However, in Przemyslaw Pokrycki's extensive project, carried out since 2005, funeral rituals have become...
Father and son - towards "My Americas"
Writing that Wojciech Zawadzki was a great photographer is the same truism as writing that a great poet was, for example, a certain Slovakian. This everyone knows. Like any "seriousness," Wojciech Zawadzki continues to have an impact even after his death, which came for him in 2017. Less than five years later, or more precisely, from February 8 to March 18, 2022, in the extraordinary...
Around "New Europe" by Lukasz Trzcinski
Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Central Europe... Whatever we call this area marked at its inception by both Byzantine and Frankish Empire influences, thinking about it triggers emotions over and over again, from uncertainty to nostalgia to awe, and sometimes a whole diverse range of feelings, as seen in literary or cinematic narratives describing the European phenomenon. For an outside observer, the...
Waldemar Sliwczynski's struggle with silence
Waldemar Sliwczynski is known for his affection for photography, mainly through his self-published "Fotografia Quarterly". In fact, we met at the birth of the magazine, in the creation of which I decided to join, and this joint adventure continues to this day. Sliwczynski is a rare photography enthusiast who took the risk - including financial - of creating an ambitious magazine for connoisseurs....
