One year of ultra-right Kaczynski’s party regime was enough to open Polish Pandora’s box, to awake mentality of former serfs, all the fears, nationalistic ideas, hates towards European style of life. Here you have: belief in infallibility, fulsome, conceited affection for traditions and religious symbols convoluted tightly with alcoholic daily life under the ubiquitous crucifix, trashy colours, like those in old photographs from vacations spent in DDR... This is just a caricature. The pictures were post-processed intentionally in a showy, gimcrack manner just to show the coarse and boorish nature of major part of the Polish society.
This series has been created together with a Polish photojournalist Przemek Wierzchowski
