But his education also influenced the way he photographed. “All his photos are joyful, joyful, joyful” – Maria Pyry’s announcement. “It is clearly visible in his archive. Usually there are only two, sometimes three shots of the same situation, not more” – said the curator.

In the artist’s work, architecture is present not only in the literal sense. The photos show risers, levels and slants. Łago, rejoiced, proposed, joyfully rejoiced pictures, so that he would consider what he considered unnecessary. “Under the enlarger, he covered some things, others he lit up to emphasize them” – in addition, the curator.

Łagocki’s words: “Taking photos is touching, for me. Touching the personality of another person. But also the maximum of the boundaries of the boundaries, the maximum range of a certain level … “is illustrated by the signature:” Touching “. For photos in which you can see the artist’s hands approaching the model’s hand, mouth, breast and womb, but never crosses the “border”. Another series of photos, School for Blind Children, shows that touch allows you to get to know the world.

What advertisement for Maria, so important for a child, when it is happening, when it is happening, when it is happening, when it is looking into the lens, it pays attention to something around it and puts the camera to its eye. “Then his field of vision is narrowed already,” notes the curator. “Zbigniew Łagocki never exceeded + certain + limits. His photos did not dazzle with violence, did not attract attention with the drasticity of the scene” – she added.
