Iwona Aleksandrowicz
Project "Native Stranger" (Series)
DESCRIPTION
I moved 5 times in my life. I changed cities and countries. Every time I started my life from scratch. I got to know new places and new people. In some of them, it was easier. In others worse. Sometimes it was more difficult to acclimate in Poland, in a new city, where the community is horribly closed to others/new/strangers than abroad. Sometimes the native may be stranger and the stranger more native... I recently met a few wonderful foreigners who decided to start their life in Szczecinek and the surroundings. And they exactly inspired me to create this project. "Native stranger" is a picture of foreigners who decided to settle in West Pomerania/Poland. An image of their everyday life, work, favorite places, issues, and successes. The photos were taken with an analog technique, with a large-format camera and home developed by myself.

The project is financed under the "Social worker" program of the Marshal of the West Pomerania.
