January 18, 2023 / at 18:00 / Old ZPAF Gallery / Plac Zamkowy 8, Warsaw A few years ago I found an old family album in my mother's closet. It moved me a lot. The album once belonged to my grandmother. She died young, leaving behind a daughter less than a year old. I wondered what she felt knowing that she was slowly passing away, that she had to say goodbye. So little...
The Board of the Wielkopolska Branch of ZPAF convened the first post-sandem meeting of members on Thursday, January 5. As I was driving to this meeting I received sad news - on the same day passed away the Man to whom this branch of ZPAF, and in general, the entire photographic environment in Poznan owes so much. It was thanks to his determination that it was in Poznan that photography found its way into the salons....
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....
The creator of exhibit 10, photographer Henryk Tomasz Kaiser, presents a personal interpretation of the Ten Commandments; a guide that in an increasingly secularized society is a signpost for some, allowing them to find the right direction, and for others a series of prohibitions and restrictions.

Pawel Zak is one of those photographers who, with incredible lightness, can use what the old masters used to call "the light of the image." The repeatedly shown and awarded series of his photos entitled "Stories" is an eloquent example of great visual culture in an artist whose works completely belong to the latest currents in contemporary photography. "Stories" is, in my opinion, a multi-layered ...
Julia Stachura: What is your first memory related to photography? Kamila Kobierzynska: I could echo Marcel Proust - we deal with what we lack. When I was a child I liked to look through photographs by pulling them out of drawers and boxes from time to time, but no one ever told me about them - I just looked at the pictures.
