Vorwort
Streets of CinnamonPoland s rich history of art is one the world simply could not do without. From the colossal busts of Igor Mitoraj to the Nobel verse of CzesÅaw MiÅosz to the films of Roman Polanski-to experience these pioneering works of the imagination is to glimpse the alien beauty of the real.Something of that strange realism can be seen in the work of photographer Bogdan Frymorgen. For all its fit-in-your-pocket, touchscreen facility, the camera can be a difficult instrument. It wants to crop this particular orchid from its dirt box or that ragged apple tree from its roots. It wants to arrest every moth and seal it in a jar. But we don t just love photographs because they stop time. They also give time back. This too is the power that Frymorgen wields. In these photographs, the past ruptures up and cracks the streets of Poland s postwar cities while the present digs downward toward the past like a kid in a sandbox. A building wearies, in one image, under the burden of its shambles. In another, children lift all the sky with one synchronic leap. The tension is visceral: hatred and innocence, war and play, then and now.Bruno Schulz, the incomparable Polish writer, comes closest to Frymorgen s vision. Schulz, a Jewish author of only two short but brilliant novellas, was killed by the SS in Drogobych (now a part of Ukraine), on November 19, 1942, otherwise known as Black Thursday. Of his two books, his semi-autobiographical The Street of Crocodiles (1934) is widely acknowledged as one of Poland s greatest literary achievements. Though originally published as Cinnamon Shops, the narrator of this story recounts the dank, dirty, and woefully uneventful commercial avenues of his youth. The setting is one of simple yet elegant contrasts, the way most children actually see the world: on one side, we have the streets of progress and their industrial monstrosities; on the other side, we have the wishful spectacle of candy stores and the sweetness of safety. But as the boy makes his way to the cinnamon shops, a danger looms near. A comet approaches. And when it hits, there ll be no survivors.The comet means two things: the annihilation of a people and the devastation of innocence. And though the first disaster met Schulz very literally, it is really the latter that we all experience.But in Frymorgen s photographs, the two are inextricably linked. With this in mind,I want to highlight a couple of the key features in Frymorgen s work-namely, the empathy and tribute Frymorgen pays to the Jewish ghettoes of prewar Poland and the children he photographs today who, like the ruins of the past, assume a monumental stature in many of the images and remind us of both our history and the possibilities of the future....Steven Brownmehr
