The exhibition encourages visitors to walk, observe, and consider urban squares, streets, and backyards as if they were texts to be read. Through a dialogue between photography and words—from the second half of the 19th century to the present day—the show creates a space for reflection on the urban landscape. The starting point is a work by Antoni Mikołajczyk. The artist moved through the city with a camera set to a long exposure time, capturing traces of glowing street lamps and car headlights. The photograph does not depict a night street or sources of light in a realistic way. Instead, it records the relationship between space, time, and the human presence. These are precisely the aspects the exhibition focuses on—ways of recording, experiencing, and understanding.
