"Pile of Photos" is a publication that defies traditional definitions of a photo album. It is rather a visual and textual narrative in which the works of Zbigniew Libera - an artist known for provocative and critical projects such as "Lego. Concentration Camp" - are compared with the reflections of Łukasz Chotkowski. This book is an attempt to understand the complexity of the modern world through the prism of art.

This publication contains both well-known photos and those that are made available to the public for the first time. It is therefore not only a retrospective of Libera's work, but also a dialogue between the past and the present. "Pile of Photos" is an invitation to a deep reflection on the human condition and the social mechanisms that shape our reality.

Łukasz Chotkowski, playwright, screenwriter and director, brings his unique perspective on art and society to this publication. His texts are not only a commentary on Libera's work, but also an autonomous art form that enriches the perception of the whole. Chotkowski's collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw guarantees a high editorial and substantive level of the publication.

"Pile of Photos" is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary art, photography and social issues. It is a book that makes you think and provokes discussion, while at the same time delighting with its form and content. This album is a valuable testimony to the era of transformation in which we live and offers a unique view of the world through the prism of Zbigniew Libera's art.
