Aglaia Konrad’s work often takes the form of a book, each conceived as an edited archive of the ways in which she uses photography to investigate urban landscapes. Two of her book projects were part of The Lives of Documents—Photography as Project, the project curated by Stefano Graziani and Bas Princen, and it was while putting this exhibition together that Konrad shared her enthusiasm after researching the work of five women that conceived several residential neighbourhoods in Warsaw after the Second World War and redefined the city as a green haven. If the two book projects she presented in our exhibition—Atlas (2000) and Copy Cities (2003–2004)—brought together multiple fragments of her extensive and systematic documentary work on cities, her survey of the work of Alina Scholtz, Barbara Brukalska, Halina Skibniewska, Helena Syrkus, and Zofia Hansen leads now to a travel diary that reflects on the role of architecture and landscape architecture in defining places of bonding and belonging.
