Bartosz MateÅ„ki’s photostory Graffiti refers to the best traditions of the Polish school of sociological photography from the 70s. Raw in form, not overstylised, and full of energy and dynamics, the black-and-white photographs tell us about the world of the underground, which most can’t enter, rolling past us, so to speak, . The author explores the mystery of the graffiti-creation process. These colourful images, which in the momentum of everyday life drive us to escape, reflect, contemplate, read pictographic writing. To show us the process of formation of the new world of colour on the edge of the law, the slightly dark and dangerous atmosphere, the author had to gain the trust of the graffiti artists. To be admitted to the secret circle. Jump over fences and overcome barriers as they did. Approach the subject as closely as possible. He succeeded.
