In the 13th Upper Silesian edition of International Heritage
Photographic “Experience” Contest, once again students
present high level photographic works. This time young artists
searched the inspiration among the technical monuments,
Jewish cemeteries as well as sacred architecture. Mr Andrzej
Koniakowski, one of the competition judges, called this
inspiration “the monuments’ magic”. “While sightseeing and
visiting old undisclosed buildings, young people long for
inspiring adventures and discoveries. Also the photograph
sent for the consecutive contest can be considered discovering
the ancient and beautiful things that surround us. The young
and sensitive authors of prize works succeeded in finding their
highly personal photographic treasure. The first prize of Wojciech
Romański constitutes a triptych showing the staircase exquisitely
contoured with the light, with the vibe of mysterious entries in
the surrounding reality. The second award of Maja Ogonowska
is the secret of the old keyhole that is beautifully captured in the
photograph. The third prize of Cezary Rusinowski refers to the
modernity shining with chromium, in which the beauty of an
old building is reflected. That is the youthful vulnerability and
the dreams that intertwine in these interesting pictures that
are both technically and compositionally so good. It is worth
organizing such photographic competitions whose effects
surpass our imagination of the youth’s curiosity about the world.
Thereby, the photographs taken are to be worth noticing and
the message they convey is to be worth contemplating.”
On a few pages of “Experience” catalogue, the best works of the
Upper Silesian laureates are presented. We highly encourage
everyone who takes it in their hands to let themselves be
carried away by the magical charm of photography. |
