past two months have proved to be time researching new paths and new topics. Once again, it appeared that the farther from home, the harder it was to find something interesting. Perhaps, therefore, assign a photo to the site (not necessarily strictly) has some justification - in most texts, which relate to what I do, the authors point out the name of the family city. So the photo from September and Wrzesnia. Is it limited? I do not think, because once again I feel that the search for new paths proved to be fruitful, so this photo polygon is not yet exploited fully. I do not wyeksploatował the end of me. Except that this time it is you did in the open space, although the interior still arise and will arise. But this is a subject that will appear until early 2009. Exactly where and when? I do not know it yet.
So far I did not know how much such an approach is close to this, which initially dealt with the British documentary, Jem Southam as if Paul Graham, the direct heirs of the ideas described a moment ago Tony Ray-Jones. Until now I had a chance to see their work once the exhibition Documentary Dilemmas. Aspects of British Documentary Photography 1983-1993 prepared by The British Council and the displayed in Poland in 1995. Even then, the photo effect on me heavily, but did not yet understand why.
Of course, by no means do I compare my work with implementations Southama and Graham - is a different scale, a different reality (very important) and different style. However, the common (and very) seem to me to seek around town, so it's best-known reality. This is particularly important especially in the case of work Southama - incidentally, a photographer almost completely unknown in Poland, though it just me, not particularly surprising, because hardly anyone is still committed to the recording of 'banal' everyday life and such places. Much better known for Graham, especially its series Troubled Land: The Social Landscape of Northern Ireland from the mid-80th years, showing a minor, albeit a very persistent traces of Ireland's political struggles. When at last year's Month of Photography in Krakow during the panel discussion with British photographers and Mark Power, curator Theatres of War (Luc Delahaye, Christopher Stewart, Donovan Wylie, Geert van Kesteren and Lisa Barnard), I asked a question about the source of the phenomenon of British document, I received a reply that this is due to the lush history of Britain. But I think that not only - the awareness of photographers may have it prevail.
