I started to take pictures in 1977 because I wanted to stop time going by. I didn't know then that I was to enter the entirely different and somewhat magic and mystical world.

Andrzej Polec,




Where to start?
Everything cracks and shakes,
The air trembles with similes,
No one world's better than another;
the earth moans with metaphors.
