AROUND THE WORLD IN 36 FRAMES
The Polish Museum of America
984 N. Milwaukee Ave., IL. 60642

Opening on Friday June 25, 2010 7 p.m.- 9 p.m.

Imagine a camera, with enough film for 36 shots, making its way to 36 cities around the globe and at every stop, one person takes just one shot. This traveling camera is the invention of photographer, Wojtek Gil, whose belief that a moment of life captured in Sao Paulo might not look all that different from one captured in Osaka, comes to life in this innovative project. The camera spent several days with each participant who photographed an image that struck him or her, adding a note about the shot before forwarding the 35mm Lomo Action Sampler to its destination. Gil’s project is his contribution to today’s global experience – a literal and figurative snapshot from the unique and collective perspectives of the participants who have chosen to take this journey with him.
Event Cost: $10
