Streets of Crocodiles
Photography, Media, and Postsocialist Landscapes in Poland
About the book
This powerful presentation of photographs of Poland from the late 1980s to
the present depicts the hybridized landscape of this pivotal Eastern
European nation following its entry into the European Union. A visual record
of the country's transition from socialism to capitalism, it focuses on the
industrial blue-collar city of £ód¼ - located in the heart of New Europe and
home to nearly one million people. Photographer Kamil Turowski's pictures
are captivating - seeming to conceal a looming threat - while Katarzyna
Marciniak's accompanying text expands on the photos and the 'crocodilian'
texture of contemporary Eastern Europe. A walk on the wild side, Streets of
Crocodiles captures viscerally the changing landscape of postsocialist
Poland.
