    • The location of the photograph was the cultural and social centre of the district. Roman Polanski spent his youth here. The intersection is located in Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter of Krakow, a symbol of Jewish heritage and the tragedy of the Holocaust. The colour red represents a warning about the future and describes the omnipresence of death. The ‘firebird’ in the centre of the photo is a symbol of freedom. The photo was taken at an intersection with red traffic lights and waiting cars.

The aim is to surprise: place, time and light are real components. Each work is created in a single exposure as an abstract experimental composition. A special (unique) image of reality. Place and time are a primary element. Imagination and technology in symbiosis. No post-processing of the forms, everything is real.

The whole art of photography is to find the decisive moment.
