Simple but powerful and deeply moving as all these objects are ones we share, in the main, daily need or use of - making it impossible to experience viewing them (along with the superimposed notes) as simply about looking at some photographs. Its a simple story on one level but the impact of seeing it is another altogether. I can, and do, admire the creative arrangement, colour decisions etc but the rejected objects could also be tossed in heaps and the message would still comes across - though the neatness also, paradoxically, sets a brutal categorising of lives against the obvious care of an artist handling rejected objects far more kindly than their owners were.
Scrolling over the images and seeing how they were discarded is heartbreaking. And truly moving. Thank you so much for posting this Tomasz

Amazing, powerful, and makes it real. Thank you for sharing.

This is ‘brave art’ though.. and from the heart - sadly so special.. & specially so.. 🦎🏴☠️🧚🏽♂️
Such an interesting story. I wonder how he got access to photograph these items.
