My Exhibitions

1120 KM – Gambia River 1120km, Gambia RiverToday, April 1, 2019, a plethora of travel photographs have been taken, with the day being no different from any other during the year in this regard. These photos will flood social media, some of them will die forever on computer disks, and others will be published in travel magazines after careful editing. And until about 167 years ago, travel photography was so difficult and required so much knowledge and patience that it was rare. Difficult to...

Hell’s Kitchen “Hell’s Kitchen” is, it would seem, a rather unobvious name for a photographic exhibition. However, just after crossing the threshold of Marcin Andrzejewski’s atelier, one of the basic attributes of the kitchen hits our nostrils: a bouquet of intense smells. However, this is not the scent of prepared food, but a mixture of alcohol, ether and other chemicals that are unidentifiable to the untrained nose. After a while, we get used to the diabolical smell and begin to absorb...

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...

Stanisław Niedźwiecki – Poland – 1945-1960 Stanisław Niedźwiecki  was born on May 23, 1890, in Shaykuny, a place on the border of present-day Belarus and Lithuania, which was then part of the Russian Empire. In the years before World War I, he studied anthropology and ethnography at the University of St. Petersburg, while after the Communist Revolution of 1917 he found himself in Transcaucasia. During this time, he also began to dabble in photography, which eventually became his...

GTF Wet Plate Collodion Portraits The wet collodion technique, invented in 1851 by English sculptor Frederik Scott Archer, also known as wet plate collodion, is one of the first photographic techniques invented and the first technique to produce a glass negative that could be easily duplicated (which contributed to the popularization of photography in the 19th century). This method, compared to other photographic techniques, is unique – each photograph is subjected to individual processing, it...

Roadside Scenes reality is a matter of energy. Energy flowing between “us”. The phenomenon of photography is the energy of light reflected from the “object” and falling “on the photographer” – a human individual, living, from the point of view of the cosmos, a fraction of a second and sensitive to the world around him. The photographs in this exhibition are a photochemical, aesthetic response to this “impact” of reality. Empty buildings, decaying farm barns, proving the existence of another...

Roadside Scenes I Roadside Scenes – a metaphorical title associated primarily with observation while traveling. Observation, in turn, irrevocably constitutes an element of photography. Five travelers – wanderers, going on a journey into the unknown. Looking around, they reje-structure everything that seems interesting to them. Landscapes, people, situations. The peculiar innocence of registration has its own, tremendous advantages. Its feature is the purity of the photographic image. In turn...

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...

Stanisław Nieźwiecki – Persja Stanisław Niedźwiecki – born on May 23, 1890 in Szajkuny, Vilnius province. He was educated in Russian schools. He served as a captain at the court of Tsar Nicholas II. As a result of the events of 1917, he found himself first in Transcaucasia, then in Persia, where he worked as an archaeologist and photographer. He corresponded with the then-published magazine “Fotograf polski”, publishing photographs from Persia and theoretical treatises on the aesthetics of...
