When I am in a foreign country, I would see to it that I do either one of these three things: 1) watch a movie, 2) attend a photo exhibit, or 3) visit a museum. Of course, this is ideal if you are a tourist and you have all the time in the world. I went to Katowice mainly to attend a conference and there is a slight chance of sightseeing during the duration of the conference unless of course if I chose to “cut class” which I couldn’t do because I was with my boss.
Luckily though, the organizer of the conference had arranged several cultural visits on the side. One was a visit to the National Radio Symphony Orchestra, the ambassador of Polish culture on the international artistic scene. Anwyay, originally, we were there to hear a woodwind quintet performance or something which would start later of the day. As we were walking inside the orchestra, I saw a Sammy Hart exhibit at the lobby and instantly I went there to see it.
Sammy Hart is a German-based photographer. He’s into portraitures in many genres. I am not well-versed with all his works but the thought of seeing a photo exhibit was exhilarating. His exhibit was a product of his visit to Katowice while he was taking photos of Isabelle Faust and some musicians inside the orchestra house. Faust is a famous German violinist. All exhibited photos were taken between March 12-14, 2015.
