NARRACJE 2011 Work: Gate 11

For NARRACJE Jennifer Braun's subject is the interplay of the "city of stones" and the "city of people". She invited inhabitants for a series of portraits which she took inside the tramdepot. The closing of the tramline that ended in the tramdepot in Dolne Miasto is for many of the long-term inhabitants of Dolne Miasto one of the milestones in the neglect of the urban development of the neighborhood. In portrait and full body shots the portrayed are shown in the natural light which enters through the darkened skylights and the opened entrance gate number 11. Focusing on the people the environment almost disappears in the dark.

Location: Churchyard, ul. Łąkowa 34A (entrance through the church)
