description

Janusz Dybkowski (1954–2003) was a photographer and journalist who collaborated with numerous editorial offices, including “Tygodnik Piotrkowski” and “Dziennik Łódzki”. In Piotrków, he documented significant local events and the daily life of the city. His film collection consists of both footage of family life and documentary materials.

A group of a few people is spending time outdoors. There is a house under construction on a wooded plot, with planks and other building materials scattered on the ground. People are getting out of a car parked by the fence. Women and an elderly man are sitting on portable chairs, talking and laughing. One of the women is lighting a cigarette, while another is picking up dry leaves. A younger man is climbing a ladder to the roof. Two women are walking between the trees and later standing by the riverbank. A shot of branches in the water and an elderly man sitting on the opposite bank. The women are returning from the riverbank, accompanied by two men, who are likely taking turns operating the camera.
