"Byliby Zniknęli"
The theatre play and movie “Byliby Zniknęli” (Polish for “They would have disappeared”) is based on the lives of people we've never met. All the characters in “Byliby Zniknęli” are real people who died and whose belongings ended up in the trash. The actors and me, the director, puzzled photos, letters and postcards back together and created an intimate, idiosyncratic portrait of random strangers and their lost memories.
The theatre play had its premiere on the 8th of June 2019 in Warsaw, Poland. The movie was shot in several abandoned locations in the vicinity of Warsaw. Currently, post-production is taking place.
By signing up, you'll get regular emails that tell the stories of people's lives that I found in the trash. It's a giant collection of postcards, love letters, diaries, photographs and other found texts that I've carefully curated back into digital collages. Plus you get the bonus karma of directly supporting an independent artist!
