Michał Szlaga: The Shipyard
Michał Szlaga, one of the most interesting young Polish photographers, has been taking pictures of the area of the Gdańsk Shipyard for 10 years. His project, which gradually became his idée fixe, was to document what is being destroyed in that historic place. The project
will be finished when a shopping mall is built in the former Shipyard area.
The unique Szlaga’s collection consists not only of photographs but also items such as old work-safety instruction films found in dustbins and remains office and factory equipment.
