I believe we can do many things to support others.

Marta Kochanek: I believe we can do many things to support others. To me personally it become a natural reaction to grab a camera and shoot projects that tells stories. As I went into a creative collaboration with Barbara Gibson PHOTOGRAPHY we managed to successfully deliver three photography projects aiming to support LGBT community. Each project was exhibited internationally and caught a wide audience. We had portrayed Queer Artists (Queer'ists), Drag Queens (Inner Pageant) and Homosexual Families with kids ( We Love We Make We Exist). This year we will be concentrating on LGBT Professionals and for this purpose we will be photographing businessmen and women (they will all appear naked). We call it The Bolds Project and we are extremely happy to share our very first photograph.

We were quite brave!

Stanley Kubrick's exhibition in Poland!

Stanley Kubrick

Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt, together with Kubrick's inheritors created an exhibition that presents unique materials expressing uncompromising vision of Stanley Kubrick's cinema. Kubrick was a director, screen player, operator and editor. He is regarded as the icon of the cinematography and the master of the hidden acceptations. National Museum in Cracow is the 11th host of the exposition dedicated to the man, whose output has an unflagging influence on the next generations of filmmakers and artists. The exhibition will be interesting not only for amateurs but for experts as well. For those, who are familiar with Kubrick's work it would be an unforgettable adventure. Those, who are new to his talent, will discover his genius.

The exhibition shows over 1000 exhibits from the Kubrick Archives: iconographic items from some of his films, costumes, props, original screenplays, and books with director's notes. One can also admire Kubrick's photos,copywright images, documents, letters, posters, awards, technical equipment (cameras ) and equipment used during filming and editing(clapperboards and decorations). Objects are supplemented by the assembled fragments of music ordered or used by Kubrick to illustrate the films, and selected movie scenes that will be displayed on monitors and screens.

Chciała zatrzeć wszystkie ślady: dokument o niezwykłej fotografce Vivian Maier

Photo by Vivian Maier

Nigdy nie zdecydowała się pokazać fotografii, przestała nawet wywoływać negatywy. Zachowywała się jak wampir z "Tylko kochankowie przeżyją" Jarmuscha, który uważał, że odsłanianie swojej sztuki przed światem to ujma na honorze. Była dobrą, choć nietuzinkową nianią, ale kontaktowała się z innymi głównie przez obiektyw aparatu: robienie zdjęć było jej oddychaniem, każdego dnia kolekcja powiększała się nawet o kilkadziesiąt fotografii.

A na nich przede wszystkim ludzie - złapani przypadkiem na ulicy, choć uchwyceni w kadrze tak, jakby pozowali do aparatu. Niezwykłe twarze dorosłych i zagubionych dzieci. Ale też nowojorskie i chicagowskie budynki, niebezpieczne zaułki. Te obrazy układają się w rodzaj filmu o Ameryce, której już nie ma. Maier łączyła talent artysty i dokumentalisty, który zachowuje dystans, patrzy na rzeczywistość okiem obcego, a zarazem zna tę rzeczywistość na tyle dobrze, że potrafi uchwycić sceny, momenty, emocje dla innych niedostępne.
