Krakow – Aerial View Krakow – Aerial View

Mikołaj Długosz's realisations rely largely on “found” photographic and archival materials, which the artist utilises to construct original stories. Krakow – Aerial View is a project that consists of an artist's book and photographic installation. Mikołaj Długosz used aerial views of the city to design a photo wallpaper, with which he covered the floor of the Bunkier Sztuki Gallery. The aim was to show the institution against the background and in relation to its nearest surrounding – the Old Town and adjoining districts. The size of the photograph and its new utilitarian function allowed the visitors to watch and wander around the city from a new perspective.

Mikołaj Długosz (b. 1975) – photographer, who works mainly with archival and found materials. Graduate of the Łódź Film School. The artist works mostly in series. He is interested in narratives constructed with documentary materials which seem dull and banal in themselves.
