Karol Szymkowiak "C’è sempre un tango"

The events captured in a series of photos, depict Władysław the artist's grandfather who is passionate about music. The presented events happen at two levels, in two different spaces. In the space of his apartment and in the space of his memories that are somehow trapped there. The apartment and the collected items become the background for the memories. Photos from Władysław archives are visual carriers of his memories. The title of this series is one of the tangos found in the Władysław old musicals notations. C’è sempre un tango means there is always a tango and it refers to memories.
