    About the Book

    Edit

    The Orwellian settlement of Nowa Huta is one of only two entirely pre-planned socialist realist cities ever built and one of the finest examples of deliberate social engineering in the world. Funded by the Soviet Union in an attempt to create an in-your-face proletarian opponent to intellectual, artsy-fartsy, fairytale Kraków. In October 2017, I spent four days from early morning to afternoon, wondering around Nowa Huta, camera in hand, in search of mundane glimmerings of the present and disregarded signs of a dystopian past.

    Zisis Kardianos
    Zakynthos, Greece

    Hi, I am a street photographer and freelancer for reportage, editorial, travel and wedding based in Zakynthos, Greece. I studied sociology and documentary photography. I’m passionate about all arts and for thinking creatively. Photography is my obsession along with photo-book collecting and printing. My photos have been published in Greek and foreign magazines, book covers and on-line venues. In 2012 I took part in the Athens PhFest with a solo exhibition of my series "Off-Season". Also in the same year my book "A sense of place" was published, featuring b&w photographs of my native island seen through the oblique perspective of a street-life photographer. I am a founding member of the international photography collective Burn My Eye and contributing photographer of Millennium photo agency. What I strive to achieve is the making of an imaginary world, where even the most prosaic situations can acquire a mysterious nuance and a meaning different from the one that they carry in reality.
