Summary/Abstract: The text was inspired by one tombstone photograph by Zofia Łuczko – an architect, photographer, participant of the Kultura Zrzuty artistic movement, the muse of Łódź Kaliska and its long-term manager. A provocative photography, basically a performative photographic project with the face of an alive author and an address referring to her Facebook account. I create a cultural context for photography - from tombstone portraits, coffin portraits, 19th and 20th century tomb photography, while tracing through photography and other contemporary ways of achieving immortality in culture, even prosthetic.
