The Family Album series was made for the First World Exhibition of Spoiled Photos and had its premiere in Mała Galeria ZPAF-CCA in Warsaw in 1988. The artist was inspired by old amateur photographs from his family archives. He superimposed fragments of old photos on other photos, adding painted or graphic art elements to the resulting work. The photograph has been widely exhibited and published.
