Summary/Abstract: The article concerns a series of photographies It is hard to slay the dragon, but you musttry (2016) by Irena Kalicka. Photos are based on The New Athens by a Polish Jesuiticalpriest Benedict Chmielowski. His work is defined to be the first Polish encyclopedia of the18th century. Some excerpts from the Sarmatian compendium of the knowledge of that timeare analyzed in the context of an essay by Maurice Blanchot The corpse similarity. In examiningthe timeliness of phantasms presented in New Athens, Kalicka deposited them in thecontemporary sociopolitical of context, pointing to the tendency of the culture to mediationsand various types of artificial constructs. In this way, the cycle becomes the manifestation ofview, based on the oversight and aesthetization.
