Pre-war streets
PRE-WAR STREETS OF BIAŁYSTOK
For years I lived in a block built on a former district of wooden houses. Some of my neighbors were born in them — Hania from the third floor even showed me where her home used to stand; today it’s a pedestrian crossing over a four-lane road.
I wanted to show what remains of the old streets and alleys of the pre-war wooden city, and what has been built in their place — wiping out even the smallest traces. That was the point of this project.
I probably didn’t achieve what I set out to do, but by accident I made a document of Białystok in the early 21st century.
