Summary/Abstract: Jacek Sielski took photographs of the Praga district in Warsaw from a specific angle, seeking a sui generis urban folklore or encountering it frame after frame. Looking at the bodies and faces of people from the streets of Praga: Brzeska, Ząbkowska, Kawęczyńska, Stalowa and Szwedzka, or the Różycki Bazaar we suddenly see much more, and their dialogues, thoughts and experiences become ”visible”. We discover not only the folklore of the people of Praga but become aware of the fact that we are facing a “Praga family of man”.
