802% above the norm

"802% above the norm" is an anthology of images of two great photographers, who documented the first years of Nowa Huta: Henryk Makarewicz and Wiktor Pental. Until now their pictures were not commonly known. When we see these photographs we see a common passion which is strongly underlined, their personal commentaries, often with a sense of irony towards the reality of the times. Hences these pictures could not have been shown for many decades. We see global trends in photography of the time, which the photographers caught thanks to their intuitions and sensitivity towards the medium.
