Krzakiewicz Przemysław
"El Emo" – a photographer, holder of a few biographies. One of them begins with the words "From the beginning, my life was bonded with the socialist planned economy. What distinguished myself from most of my kindergarten friends was the fact that I was a planned child …". Apparently, there were some people who believed that for instance he worked in the state-owned Bicycle Factory where he was manufacturing shooting wares for partner Arabic countries.


A likely version of his biography assumes that Przemysław Krzakiewicz, born in 1975, is the same photographer who, as a sixteen-year-old, made his debut in a socio-cultural weekly "Tygodnik Powszechny", for years worked for the "Przekrój" weekly magazine and in 2005 founded in Kraków together with Łukasz Trzciński a photo agency Visavis.pl – a dynamic venture of documentary photographers from around Poland and all over the world. The originator of cultural exhibitions and initiatives (in co-operation with Imago Mundi Foundation). At present he works on photo projects: "Free time" and "What we have in common". The former has been created during the author’s free time. It represents the pure essence of his joy of taking photographs, as spending spare time on taking photographs showing how people spend their time is the author’s favourite way of spending free time. The latter has a completely different character. It shows portraits of people gathered in one place who joined forces under a common idea.


His recent important publications are: "Małopolska. Photographs. Unclarified" and Graphis Photography Annual 2008Photography Annual 2008.
