Join us for a meeting with Piotr Jaxa - photographer, film director and cinematographer, who collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski, Andrzej Wajda and Krzysztof Zanussi.
For over 25 years, Piotr Jaxa has been developing the international project “Cinematographers”, in which he portrays outstanding directors of photography — the image creators who usually remain behind the camera. So far, he has met and photographed over 160 cinematographers from 24 countries, including legends such as Vittorio Storaro, Sven Nykvist and Robby Müller.
During the meeting, the artist will speak about the origins of the project, his travels, collaborations with masters of cinema, and his original concept of the “photographic interview,” in which cinematographers actively co-create their own portraits by choosing meaningful locations, props and visual elements. It will be a conversation about sensitivity, image-making and responsibility for the frame.
