This traveling camera is the invention of photographer, Wojtek Gil, whose belief that a moment of life captured in Sao Paulo might not look all that different from one captured in Osaka, comes to life in this innovative project. The camera spent several days with each participant who photographed an image that struck him or her, adding a note about the shot before forwarding the 35mm Lomo Action Sampler to its destination. Gil’s project is his contribution to today’s global experience – a literal and figurative snapshot from the unique and collective perspectives of the participants who have chosen to take this journey with him. Honorary Patronage: Zygmunt Matynia, Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago |
