Summary/Abstract: In my paper I consider the relation between Sociological Record by Polish photographer Zofia Rydet and the tradition of visual atlases founded by Aby Warburg. The crucial notion of Rydet’s project is the multiplicity of snapshots taken by her. These are treated in their cor-relation as parts of a whole, though their meanings may seem vague. Thanks to that, the viewer’s imagination and creative reading are set free, thus making the political potential of the project visible.
