Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the role of photography in the film “Another Day of Life” inspired by Ryszard Kapuściński’s prose of the same title. Photography was used to prepare artistic concepts and create the figure of main characters. Photography as an element of the film material was subject to activity similar to the collage method. As a semantic element, the act of photographing allowed to mark the moment of blurring the boundaries between text and image in the process of getting to know the world and blurring spatial relations. These ambiguous decisions were used by the authors to tell about Kapuściński’s birth as a writer.
