Shangri La Referring to the modern metropolis as Shangri-La, Marcin Andrzejewski provokes. He encourages the rejection of the mundane meanings that abound in the everyday hustle and bustle of the concrete beast. Shangri-La literarily represents a world that does not exist. A land of harmony and wisdom that we so desperately need. If art were to mean nothing but the emotions released, the land of the imagination would remain an intimate space of understanding with the viewer. We understand it, each individually, with the ability to experience life, but the overriding feature is that the wanderer crossing the borders of the land of Shangri-La, was forbidden to leave it. This is the provocation – the superiority of image over literature, and over the fleeting life. Whoever gets a taste of photography will not have the slightest need to leave this magical land.Cezary Tymczuk Shangri La 29 Fotografia z wystawy SHANGRI LA (2010), wydruk oprawiony w przestrzenną ramę RÖDALM, dostępny w wariantach (rozmiar ramy) 40×50 cm oraz 50×70 cm… Check details Shangri La 28 Fotografia z wystawy SHANGRI LA (2010), wydruk oprawiony w przestrzenną ramę RÖDALM, dostępny w wariantach (rozmiar ramy) 40×50 cm oraz 50×70 cm… Check details Shangri La 27 Fotografia z wystawy SHANGRI LA (2010), wydruk oprawiony w przestrzenną ramę RÖDALM, dostępny w wariantach (rozmiar ramy) 40×50 cm oraz 50×70 cm… Check details Shangri La 26 Fotografia z wystawy SHANGRI LA (2010), wydruk oprawiony w przestrzenną ramę RÖDALM, dostępny w wariantach (rozmiar ramy) 40×50 cm oraz 50×70 cm… Check...

Instagra Traveling means being on the road. This knowledge is even more ingrained in our minds since the pandemic was announced: Traveling has an existential meaning. Marcin Andrzejewski’s photographic journey takes up this theme in a unique way and takes us to places that are important to him from the point of view of cultural history or subjective experience. I look at these photos I have the urge to immediately share with my fellow travelers – which is life – not only what I see but ask them if this is a joke or a provocation? Nevertheless, with the point of view – personal – it is difficult to discuss, it gives us that something unique – Own sensitivity. We gain a lot, because in addition to the world of ideas, the viewpoints, experiences and biographies of other travelers, in our case also the photographer, are very inspiring – which intensifies the role of the image.Marcin creates beautiful photographic projects, documenting Africa the last few years is looking out for the end of restrictions and opening the way to continue the wonderful black and white photography in wet collodion technique.Traveling is not only in the field. The other same place is our own head. After all, it’s the memories we store in ourselves.Memory embraces not only the visible, but perhaps most importantly, what is hidden and arising from encounters with people encountered on the road.
