entry description
Pierogis are an important element of the Polish cuisine. Making them is a generally collective activity and one traditionaly, performed by women. I decided to show a more surreal side to the process - the fact that different women come together to perform the task, they have different opinions and soon the activity turns into an inadvertent clash of personalities and egos. It develops into a shakespearean chant of "double, double toil and trouble" and we end up in a severe bout of witchcraft. It is at the same time fascinating, infuriating and funny. Showing it like an illustration in a children's book helps focus on the funny side.about the photographer
I am a photographer and organizer of photography events. I believe that photgraphy is a social activity like conversation and different photography groups (like schools or groups of friends) develop photographic dialects where other elements are praiseworthy or cool. I work on developing my own idiom.back to gallery
