A critique by a Polish writer of the selection made by John P.
Jakob, organiser of the ""Out of Eastern Europe: Private
Photography'' exhibition and catalogue (List Visual Arts Centre,
MIT, Cambridge, USA). The author reveals the history behind
Jakob's Eastern Europe project, stating that Jakob did indeed
contact the best Hungarian, Polish, Czechoslovak and East German
photographers, but that his selection and presentation is
politically biassed and diminishes the photographers' artistic
intentions. He suggests making a ""more objective trip to
Eastern Europe''. (German/English)
