Description
“The First March of Gentlemen” by Rafał Milach
Buy the latest offering by an award-winning Polish photographer Rafał Milach – “The First March of Gentlemen”. The book is full of collages reveal his thoughts on important events that took place in Poland in the 20th century, and his wish to keep history alive. The story from the photobook is loosely based on one significant protest in 20th century Poland, a children’s strike in 1901 in response to the increasing German/Prussian influence in education, and the 1950s archive of photographer Ryszard Szczepaniak who photographed soldiers and civilian friends during the communist period. Always looking for new ways to visualise his stories, Milach has constructed a wildly compelling and thought-provoking book of photo collages, constructed of found-footage material and abstract structures based on school objects.
