  • Five friends walk briskly along a street in the southern Polish city of Krakow. One of the ladies is a bride and has either just married the your man whose arm she's holding, or she is hurrying to her wedding ceremony and the friends around her are all on their way to the church. Another girl is probably her bridesmaid, dressed in frilly blue. There are bouquets of fresh flowers and this is a very special day for these young people who are delighted to attend this wedding somewhere in this city where so many atrocities occurred during the second world war. The picture looks dated from the 1980s but it's the summer of 1990, when Poland was about to undergo massive changes economically and culturally. Their clothing looks very east European for that era and are about to stride past a unisex hairdresser's shop window where a model's face stares to the viewer.

  • Mothers swing a child across a filthy puddle in the town of Nova Huta, an industrial Stalinist steel town oin southern Poland..In filthy industrial streets, the kids look undernourished in this scene of impoverished, Communist dereliction. It is horribly depressing and unhealthy place to grow up and these children are pale and yet seem happy, with smiles on their faces. The famous steel works can be seen reflected in the puddle before them. After the war, Stalin decided to build an industrial Communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town would be called Nowa Huta  - or, the new steel mill. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks. But Solidarity grew strong forcing strikes over pay and recognition over their union. Today, it is an economic and ecological disaster area.
