Krzysztof Miller
Landing of Luftwaffe Helicopter
gelatin-silver print/photographic paper, 18,10 x 23,80 cm
Krzysztof Miller took photographs for “Gazeta Wyborcza” since 1989. In that role, he created numerous photo-reportages, including the cycle “Zair” and stories about the Czechoslovak Velvet Revolution and the wars in Bosnia and Georgia. In 2013, Miller’s book titled “13 wojen i jedna. Prawdziwa historia reportera wojennego” (Thirteen and One Wars. The True Story of a War Correspondent) was published. He explained: “I photographed out of the sense of duty. The ne- cessity to bear witness. To document. Profession- ally, but not chasing sensation or news. Rather, with a vague sense of obligation to document the end of that life. Its history. As I was taking the photographs, I knew I would not send them to the editorial office. I would not publish them. I would not throw them to the world to be devoured. I took them as a human. Just like that. As if at a funeral. I accompanied the killed one on his last journey. That stranger to me who lived in the morning, but now I was accompanying him with the camera to the other world.” (Source: https:// culture.pl/pl/tworca/krzysztof-miller) From the end of 1989 to 2008, wars, conflicts, and catastrophes were the main subject matter of Miller’s photographic endeavors. His travel companions were, among other people, Wojciech Jagielski, Paweł Smoleński, and Maria Wernikows- ka. When he left the battlefields and front lines, he went to refugees and regions struck by famine, which he also documented in photo-reportages. Often, he would take a few days break and go back to Warsaw, where he photographed local events. Regardless of the covered topic, he was always interested the most in anonymous people who faced calamities.
