The land by Michał Konrad

I have worked on “The land” project for the last one and a half years. All photos in the project are my self-portraits. I took photographs in vicinity of the town where I was born and live to this day. The project is a record of my emotions to the place where I have my roots.

I had a dream, how a strange weakness overwhelmed me. I felt heavy, my legs like roots were rooted in the ground. Every step was difficult, after which fatigue grew.

I stood motionless, cool, without feeling or fear. I saw myself in the reflection of water. Is it me?, or maybe already my soul?.I live in a small town in Upper Silesia in Poland. Every day, I watches clouds of smoke coming from a nearby mine. Dense air steeped in smog often does not allow me to breathe normally. I could leave here, see the sea or the mountains every day. Forests, other cities. I could breathe clean air. I could leave here, but somehow I can not. This place is neither nice nor ugly, I do not know if I like or dislike it. But here I was born, this landscape penetrated me. He became a part of me, I will become a part of this land someday.I have worked on “ The land ” project for the last one and a half years. All photos in the project are my self-portraits.I took photographs in vicinity of the town where I was born and live to this day.
