Graduate of the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (1994-1998) and the London School of Economics (1998-1999), where he studied Sociology and Political Sciences. He made his debut as a photographer in 2001, with an exhibition entitled Lot 00 (Flight 00) in cafe Szpilka, Warsaw. A conceptual and documentary photographer, he consistently makes a record of disappearing socialist modernist architecture. In his conceptual works, his interest in the representation of intellectual games and ideas is clearly visible. He cooperates with the Raster Gallery and the Centre for Contemporary Art Zamek Ujazdowski in Warsaw.
