Zbigniew Kosc references

....

Photographers who have ever attempted to work their way into a closed society
in the search for exclusive images will sympathize with Zbigniew Kosc.
The British Journal of Photography, Oct. 1988

Most of all, I liked his photographs. He preferred to photograph interiors, without people,
only a few simple objects - a flower in a glass, flaking paint on a door frame, or a frayed rug.
These objects were, as minor details sometimes happen to be,
metaphors of things eternal, they stood for loneliness and the transitory nature of life.
Hanna Krall
