In Repty Śląskie, a pole with a carved “Versaille” date from the height of the socle like an ancient obelisk casts a shadow at the former border which, meandering through Silesia, divided houses, streets, cities, mines, and people. This grown-together and nationally mixed human melting pot was first broken in half by a newly-established artificial border line and later swept away by a German-Soviet storm.
A photographic journey along the borders of the Second Polish Republic. A story of people living in the forgotten borderlands, who formed the multinational mosaic of the II RP. Adventurers, smugglers, writers, artists, explorers and dreamers. But most of all, it’s about ordinary people who, despite the atrocities of the 20th century, were trying to survive on the erased border.
