This photograph dates back to the period when Gardulski was fascinated with the work of the graphic artist Adam Hoffmann from Cracow. In the early 1970s, he was making - as his first commercial assignment - photographic reproductions of Hoffmann’s s works, thus taking a closer look at his art. Hoffmann would obsessively assemble a world of human heads as an expression of his longing for a surrealist landscape. Gardulski used as the starting point for this gum bichromate, photographs he had taken during a football match. As he recollects, it was the only time he photographed such an event.
