Georg van der Weyden is a photographer of Swedish origin. He has spent the past couple of years travelling and learning about and understanding Poland. As he did so, he fell in love with Poland’s beauty, history and people – as well as the country’s numerous other intriguing dimensions.
Georg’s background as an advertising photographer has shaped the image’s aesthetics. He delights in showing the complexities of the country by comparing and contrasting ideas visually, and portraying strong beliefs with strong images. Much like Poland itself, his work is dynamic, sensitive, humorous and unflinching - all at the same time.
The photos also allow Poles to see their country through a new lens, from a new perspective, with a new passion.
We invite you now to take a glimpse at Poland through Georg’s eyes... ‘Through foreign eyes’.
The exhibition takes places in the Belfast Room and is part of V Polish Cultural Week www.polishculturalweek.com
