Jakub Nowaczyk

I hold a degree in Film Studies and Media Culture from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. In 2018, I began studying at the Wojciech Jerzy Has Krakow Film School, where my interest in cinema gradually shifted toward photography—a more personal and, above all, individual medium that allows me greater creatve freedom when working alone.
In 2022, I enrolled at the Commission of National Education University in Kraków. It was there that I completed my graduation project, Dark Thoughts, which received special recognition from the academic committee. The project was also among the winners of the 23rd edition of the "Mój Fyrtel" program, organized by the Pix.House Foundation.
In my work, I strive to process reality through the lens of personal experience. Aesthetics take a back seat to emotion. I see the world through the eyes of someone who inwardly endures pain, turmoil, and anxiety—often in solitude. My photographs tell the stories of those who suffer quietly, without seeking understanding among the trendy social masks and facades so common today.
These are stories about a world that is lonely and strange. About injustice and the social chains that bind us. About Poland—as a cage that’s hard to escape. In this reality, darkness often becomes a refuge. That’s why I primarily work in black and white photography—it allows me to focus on emotion rather than the formal aspects of the image.
I mainly work with analog techniques, using a unique, self-developed process for developing film. The result is an aesthetic of grime and blur, through which my photographs resemble a dream—or perhaps more accurately, a nightmare—from which we are all trying to wake.
