Miejsce odlegte. Distant place

One place. Five photographers. Twenty-three pictures.Artists from the Sputnik Photos Association took photos of the Vistula. They focused on the same thirty-kilometre-long stretch of the river located in Warszawa. This resulted in five completely different photo-stories showing different spaces. This is what the Vistula is truly like: for some, it is a magical place or a refuge; for others, it is a rubbish pit and a place of rejected people and objects. Photographers create specific micro-worlds: they show little snippets, fragments of reality, leaving the interpretation to the audience. Here, you will not find landscapes, images of ships, beaches and bridges. In many photographs, you cannot see even a fragment of the river. It is a kind of metaphor. It inspires and connects all the works, which are at the same autonomous and form a coherent whole.

Sputnik Photos is an international group consisting of photographers from Central and Eastern Europe.
