Mark Power "The sound of Two songs"

We went to Bradford "Impressions photography gallery"to see Mark Power's "The sound of Two Songs" series. The series is based in Poland and is a photographic survey of the country since 2004. This project began for Power when Magnum commissioned him to document Poland jointing the E.U. Power became so attached to the country he privately continued with the project and lead in a slightly different direction, resulting in the images being a poetic and an autobiogrpahical response to the country. I think the images were highly charged and also i think it is refreshing to see a document on a country that is positive and celebrating it and it's beauty and it's imperfections.
