Słownik przydrożny Andrzeja Tobisa
Wayside Dictionary by Andrzej Tobis

Summary/Abstract: The author of this text deals with Andrzej Tobis’ A–Z project, realised since 2006 and still undergoing expansion, a combination of photographic notes from journeys across Poland and a rather perverse reading of Słownik ilustrowany język niemiecki i polski (Bildwörterbuch Deutsch und Polnisch), published in the Democratic Republic of Germany since 1954. Among references placing Tobis’ project, subjected to strict formal and conceptual rigours, within the context of similar semi-humorous and semi-documentary photographic practices J. Chmielewska takes a closer look at Notatniki fotograficzne by Władysław Hasior.
