This artistic anthology of landscape photographs by leading Polish photographers was laid out by Edward Hartwig and contains some of his works. The photos, which adhere to the pictorial tradition, are accompanied by a selection of Polish poetry. Both the visual and textual layers are interspersed with references to social realism. For instance, the shots of Krakow’s social realist district and new industrial centre, Nowa Huta, are accompanied by poem by Wisława Szymborska* “Na powitanie budowy socjalistycznego miasta” (In Welcome to a New Social Realist City; 1952). *Wisława Szymborska (1923-2012), winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The poems were chosen by poet and writer Tadeusz Kubiak and by poet, lyricist and translator Artur Międzyrzecki. The photographs were selected by Edward Hartwig.
