Jan Czypionka, avoiding color, focuses on the essence of human emotions and experiences. His photographs from neglected districts of Silesian cities emanate tenderness and respect for the people portrayed. The artist himself calls it a tribute, a bow, an esteem. In his works, we find the grayness and blackness that dominate in old, forgotten places, worn-out factories and mines.

The album "Suspicious Life" is a journey through the working-class settlements of Upper Silesia, places that are exploited, neglected and often without prospects. It is there, where mines and factories are still operating, that enclaves of poverty and pathology coexist with locals who nostalgically remember the glory days of places such as Lipiny, Chropaczów, Kaufhaus, Kolonia Zgorzelec, Bobrek. Czypionka gives a voice to those who, despite the difficulties, retain the joy of life and attachment to tradition.
