About the book
Jessica Backhaus has spent over 15 years documenting Poland, capturing people in their apartments, at work and in the untouched landscape. With a sure eye and an unusual colour language, she points out important but easily overlooked details: plastic flowers and crocheted pillowcases, images of saints and lace doilies and cherries preserved in mason jars. The pictures are neither intrusive nor tactless; she encounters people with dignity and full of admiration for the way of life of Poland and its rural inhabitants.
