Near Kalnica in the Bieszczady Mountains, in the valley through which the Wetlinka stream flows, there was a village inhabited by Boykos. In 1947 they were forcibly displaced to the north and west of Poland. Currently the surrounding mountains are covered with dense forest.
On the right side of the road from Wetlina to the Wyzna Pass, in the Bieszczady Mountains, next to Gorna Wetlinka camping, there is a forest that interested me, whenever I was nearby. One day I went there with a camera. Looking for the entrance to the rabbit hole ...
This is a black and white photo album about the Caryńskie Valley which is located in the Bieszczady Mountains in Poland. There in housed a village. Its inhabitants were forcibly displaced in 1946 to the USSR. Currently, only a few people live in it.

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." Coco Chanel
Hourglass is the photobook with pictures from the almost non-verbal solo performance of Teatr A PART entitled Klepsydra (Hourglass) , directed by Marcin Herich in execution by Monika Wachowicz. This is the theater of the body, gesture and emotion with elements of dance. The word "klepsydra" in Polish language has two significances. It means "an hourglass", but also "obituary notice".
The book contain my photos from Szopienice. This is a Katowice district, the city on the Upper Silesia, in Poland. To 1960 it was independent. Szopienice was founded as a village in 1360 and it was developed in the second half of the nineteenth century around the metallurgy industry. The civic rights was given to them in 1951. I photographed Szopienice in the spring of 2003.
