MACIEJ DAKOWICZ: "CARDIFF"

http://www.maciejdakowicz.com/filter/CardiffAfterDark/photos

St Mary street is one of the main streets of central Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. A city as any other in the UK. 
The street is one of the main hubs of clubs and pubs of the city. Sooner or later most party goers end up on that street. 
The street is closed for cars on Saturday nights and becomes the main scene of the city night life, fuelled by alcohol 
and emotions. Everything takes place in public - from drinking, fighting, kissing to crying and sleeping.(...)

An album published by Thames & Hudson is due out in autmn 2012.

IGOR OMULECKI: "JP2"

http://www.omulecki.com/index.php?/jp2/

(...) 

A virtual journey across 

different locations related to the cult of John Paul II,

a documentation 

of the story, 

 

objects, and artifacts.

(...) 

 The papal motifs have 

turned into a strange guidebook 

to the meanders of 

Polishness, which takes one 

on a trip starting from the rural, somewhat boggy 

idyll, 

 and then through

the private collections of papal gadgets (collected more for the 

 fun of it 

than out of sheer respect), all the way to the Foundation of John Paul II 

 

in Rome (...).

MARIUSZ FORECKI: "I LOVE POLAND"

http://www.forecki.pl/

I have been photographing Poland from the mid-80s. The recorded events and situations are often very personal.  
They have no record of high politics or spectacular events. They seem to be of little importance, from a global point of view.   
But from the standpoint of the heroes of these photographs, they most fully describe their daily lives. Gathered in one place 
they give a view of the changes which we witnessed, or maybe just me ...(...)

http://www.cecyliamalik.pl/drzewa/d-foto.html

The young  artist from Cracow, starting from 25th September 2009, climbed one tree a day for the whole 
following year. It is the origin of the cycle 365 Trees, inspired by Italo Calvino’s novel "The Baron in the Trees" 
from 1957. "The project lasted exactly a year, i.e. 365 days, when I climbed up 365 trees, a different tree
each time. Not only is it my diary, but also my private rebellion, a small protest", writes the artist
in the preface to her album "Cecylia Malik: 365 Trees".

http://vimeo.com/34757799

War has shaped all their life. They were less than few years old when genocide in Rwanda happened causing millions of refugees
fleeing into their homeland: South and North Kivu. Causing instability in the region, humanitarian crisis, genocide and in the end, 

as a result: domestic war. Nowadays they are teenagers, or in their mid-twenties and they recall that time as their 

first and worst memories ever.(...)

It's nearly 10pm, young men wearing fluorescent green vest hit the road, stopping oncoming stream of cars. 

Surprised drivers without any doubts stopping their cars on both sides of the road. Some of them wind covered

in rain drops side windows down, looking on an excitement crowd standing on the roadside. Noise of classic 

American engines spreads out hypnotising everyone around. I have forgotten it's not the scene 

in American Graffiti, I'm in 2011 on a North Circular road in North London. (September 2011, London,UK)
