Anna Orłowska is a photographer and multimedia artist. Her current collection of photographs is part of the MOCAK project to exhibit the work of artists creating works related to Kraków. Anna Orłowska photographed ‘Pałac Dożów’ (the product of socialist realism) in Nowa Huta juxtaposed with the residence of Jan Matejko (the most important Polish ‘pompier’). The exhibition is a commentary on the fate of old Polish palaces and noble residences which were often ruined and plundered, then converted into ‘useful spaces’. Nevertheless, the socialist fascination with the grandiosity of old palaces remained, hence the attempt to create similar buildings in the new PRL.
