"Take a Walk on the Wild Side": the photo narratives traverse hybridized Poland in the region’s transition to post-socialism. The title references the 1936 novella, "The Street of Crocodiles,” by the renowned Polish-Jewish author, Bruno Schulz, who set his prose in an Eastern European province: "...pseudo-Americanism, grafted on the old, crumbling core of the city…rich but empty and colorless vegetation of pretentious vulgarity."
In Kamil’s take, Schulz’s provocative title applies to the 21st century 'hood in which the Western consumerism tackles phobic trenches of the forceful socialist melancholy.
