Composed in a resolutely neutral and distanced tone, is Mark Power’s Polish project The Sound of Two Songs. Travelling the length and breadth of Poland, Power depicted in beautiful depth and lyricism, a fascinating period of transition in the country’s history after it joined the European Union in 2004. But it was not only a physical voyage but an internal one as well. Initially clinging onto picturing the new European prospect, he stepped back to enjoy what was truly important — the process of observing and photographing.
