Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
2012. Piotr Wójcik
The crowded town market, music is coming from every lane, crush on the camping sites, camps on streets, noise, neigh. Horses are eating nearby.
That’s how Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer looks like once a year. Pilgrims come to the procession that sets off from the church and goes to the coast. They are carrying a dark, wooden statue upon their shoulders.
Slovakia. Demon on the wall
2011. Piotr Wójcik
It looks like favelas or refugees camps. Trailers, huts, shacks, shelters built with sheet of plywood, with just anything. No infrastructure.
Just a miserable existence. How many Roma live like this, you don’t know, because no one knows how many there are.

Gypsies
2000. Piotr Wójcik
"A series of black and white portraits, firm, dignified, that highlight physical features as much as individual personalities. These portraits, all of which are framed with sober uniformity, give equal value to each individual, and invite us to enter their world".
