description

This collection of films was recorded by a married couple, Paweł and Joanna Morzyszek. Amateur films shot on 8 mm and Super 8 film reels document family life: celebrations, holidays, vacations, and travels. The archive covers materials from a 20-year period, from 1968 to 1988, which allow us to follow the growing up of Paweł and Joanna’s children – Ewa and Tomek – and their granddaughters – Agata and Anna.

The camera captures various scenes from a summer cabin. Agatka and Ania are throwing a ball into a basketball hoop hung on a tree, then they show a guinea pig to the camera. The family – grandmother Joanna, grandfather Paweł, mother Ewa, and her two daughters Agata and Anna – pose in front of a wooden cabin in the forest. Four children are playing with a ball. The girls are walking hand in hand through the forest with their grandmother and mother. The children are blowing soap bubbles through straws. The women are weeding the garden.
