DIALOGUE OF IMAGES V.2
An exhibition summarizing the summer visit of Georgian photographers to Lower Silesia, who took part in the next edition of the Polish-Georgian. During the week-long open-air event, the people invited to participate in it tried to capture in their works the most important elements of the existing landscape and to notice the contexts inscribed in it by humans, as well as the specificity of the Lower Silesia region. The artists spent a week getting to know the region and each other, made acquaintances and friendships, visited the same places, photographed similar things. However, the effects of their work are different, and yet you can feel the spirit of the region in them and notice the title “Dialogue of Images”.
