Photographic project "Contrasts" is dedicated to classical music that belongs to the circle of so-called "high culture" on the one hand, and on the other hand to traditional music that belongs to the sphere of "people's (folk) culture. Appearently it would seem that these are two different worlds that have nothing to do one with another. The classical musicians - educated, elegant, well-dressed, sweet-smelling; in one word "celebrities". The traditional musicians - common farmers, cap-makers, without education, bad-dressed, sometimes comic in its colourful, naphthalene-smelling attires and dresses. Would that be possible to find in music more yet opposition and contrast that between a violinist from the philharmonic stage and a fiddler from the Festival of Folk Bands and Singers in Kazimierz? Abyss! But, there is something to do between these two worlds... The source of inspiration, for not to say the same spirit that moves those well-smelling and dressed and those who are not so... Very often the substance that flows down from the stage is the same but the form is different. The same mistery often is put into two different shapes. With no minor effectiveness provokes to reflection the chopin's piano concerto that a folk song from Lublin that tells the story of "Janek that hasn't come back from war"... Fundamental difference exists on the form's level - musical language. Classical language has more macro-cosmic, global character - folk language has more micro-cosmic, local character. Compositions with classical root want to tell us about cosmic mysteries using extremely abstract forms in universal way, folk language uses very often real and "quasi-painful" way of describing. Presented exposition tries to show some timid whisper between these two realities.
