This puzzling and unobvious photograph by Kosiński is one of his works that seduce with their poetic understatement. Another print of the same photograph is owned by the National Museum in Warsaw, where it was exhibited in 2006 and published in the exhibition catalogue entitled Jerzy Kosiński. Photographs. Even though Kosiński turned to literature in his later period, photography remained an important medium for him. As Kosiński said in 1972 in an interview for The Paris Review: "Photography as a profession remains even today my potential escape from a potential political terror."
