Marta Pogorzala's visual experience
Photography has always been a tool that allowed man to explore.

A detailed plan for future surprises - an interview with Mateusz Sadowski
Magdalena Zolędź: How would you define your theoretical background? How does it influence your work? Matthew Sadowski: It depends on current fascinations.

Weronika Jedrzejczak, Inspiration - 100,000 km - Exhalation

Michael Konrad - a self-portrait of thought
If I had to answer the question of what photography is, I would answer that creating an image, the basis of which is independent thinking. If someone were to ask me what life is about, I would answer similarly - that life is about independent thinking every minute of it. For several years I have been making self-portraits, my figure has become an indispensable part of my photographs, using...
