About this ebook

Hourglass is the photobook with pictures from the almost non-verbal solo performance of Teatr A PART entitled Klepsydra (Hourglass) , directed by Marcin Herich in execution by Monika Wachowicz.  This is the theater of the body, gesture and emotion with elements of dance. The word "klepsydra" in Polish language has two significances. It means "an hourglass", but also "obituary notice". I photographed this performance 3 times in 2007, 2008 and 2011 in Katowice in Poland.

About the author

I live in Poland. I have photographed since I was eight years old, but photography has been in the center of my professional life since 2005. I tried my hand at many areas of photography. Since 2007 I have been photographing Jewish cemeteries. I also like street photography. In 2012 and 2018 I was a stipendist of Ministry of Culture in Poland. My photos have featured in many publications and I have produced artwork and promotional images for artists, theatres and newspapers. I was also exhibited in various exhibitions in Poland.
