Personal Belongings 1: Father — Tomek Tyndyk. Published by Centre for Creative Attitudes Zamek.
Is it possible to loose someone who was never really present? This book is a goodbye visual poem to a father who passed away. It’s about all the conversations that never happened and about the bond that has never been born. This book is an almost ephemeral object, it flows through the hands and it ends abruptly like the story of a ghost father.
Rafal Milach is a visual artist, activist, photographer and educator. His work focuses on the tension between society and power structures. Author of photographic publications critically examining the control systems and strategies of protest. A key focal point of his current artistic practice is the clash between non-heroic gestures and ostensibly neutral spaces, which are in fact set against a political background of current events. The oppressive nature of the areas Milach investigates is reflected in architecture, objects, and suitably formatted social structures. Rafal is a co-founder of The Archive of Public Protests and Sputnik Photos collectives. He is a member of the Magnum Photos agency.
