Project „Transmissions” is an attempt to create a visual puzzle about the problem of image of war in the age of the Internet. Part of photographs are stills from the video posted on “Youtube”, recorded by direct witnesses and participants of conflicts in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and Syria among others. The second part of pictures were taken during the last years in Poland during shows of military reconstruction groups, military parades, objects belonging to the army, paintball field etc.
Tomasz Wiech sought to capture the tug between Poland’s socialist past and the country’s free-market present. Melancholy and minimalist, his pictures portray “a land of the giant question mark.”
“Poland is a country of endless Carnival and great disappointment. The Carnival is obvious, and the disappointment is explicable, because things were expected to be different.”
