My practice as a social documentary filmmaker is driven by reflecting on labour, because how we work is how we live. The need to explore that is rooted in how Poland's social order developed following the fall of communism and the rule of neoliberalism. For some people it's a religion, for most - it's a curse. I focus on topics such as exploitation or labor migration. I dig deep into the cultural and geographical space closest to me. I believe in grassroots work which often includes putting the camera down. I work as a cinematographer, photographer and other related functions both in the film and photographic world. Based between Rotterdam and Warsaw.
