Stefan Okołowicz - OPeRe

About
Stefan Okołowicz graduated from the Department of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1975. As a professional photographer, his work focuses on the documentation of contemporary Polish theatre performances. He is also interested in the history of photography, particularly the photographic experiments of Stanisław I. Witkiewicz (Witkacy); he has developed an extensive collection of Witkacy’s works, which were published in the album Przeciw nicości (Against Nothingness, edited with Ewa Franczak,1986), and gathered together in an exhibition of Witkacy’s photography entitled Psychoholizm (Kraków and Wrocław, 2009-2010).
