description

‘I've been photographing workers’ housing, mines and ironworks but the giant slagheaps and the surrounding landscape were always the most surreal subjects for me. The geometric forms of the slagheaps and the contours of the drying sediments created an amazing array of abstract forms.'

This particular image - Slagheaps I, Czerwionka - won the grand prix at the Polish Landscape Biennale in 1979, beauty of Poland category. - Michał Cała
