Keywords: Krzysztof Czyżewski; żegaryszki; poetry;

Summary/Abstract: A presentation of an interpretative insight into three supplementing cycles of Żegaryszki by Krzysztof Czyżewski. The text concerns both the cycles’ triptych structure and the key motifs linking particular cycles into a thematic and problem entity whose warp consists of meditative reflection on existence and illumination experiences written out in particular poems and photographs accompanying the latter. The author of the text embarks upon a motif, of importance for Żegaryszki, of poetic and photographic epiphanies of concrete places and the inclusion of those artistic forms into the real space of Krasnogruda. More, he signalizes the anthropological potential of Czyżewski’s records, particularly their spiritual dimension.
