“Biebrza 2020” is a photo reportage about ecological change after the fire in the Biebrza National Park in Poland.

What do you know about Belarus? Photo journey diary records three visits in the belarusian province. 

Filming with the Mexican crew was an amazing experience. We filmed the Zocalo square and the Templo Mayor in Mexico City. And experienced the highest pyramids in the Americas – Teotihuacan – a pre-Columbian city.

I was lucky to visit Peru three times. I photographed vast plains of Túcume which are a part of the Lambayeque Valley, Shipibo-Conibo tribe in the Ucayali region, Cuzco and Urubamba valley, Lima and Paracas Desert.

I visited the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity twice. The Rocky Mountains are majestic.

I visited Sahara twice. As Jean Baudrillard I believe that “The desert is no longer a landscape, it is a pure form produced by the abstraction of all others.”

I was invited to Antofagasta and take part in an artist residency run by the Polish artist Dagmara Wyskiel. I was invited to collaborate with her on her artistic documentary.
