City walk: “Photographing the (in)visible objects”

During the walk we visited the visible-invisible places located in different city districts. Although the buildings can be seen, when we get by we often do not realise what was their original function.

We stopped by, among others, the former Synagogue of the Society of Prayers and Charity, named after Michał Hirsch Cypres, the New Square, Józefa, Bocheńska, and Węgierska streets. We visited places that Wojciech Wilczyk photographed while he worked on the “Innocent eye does not exhist” project.

Together we reflected on how the architecture of buildings conveyed information about their previous functions, and how to photograph this kind of objects in an attractive and visually consistent way.
