The title of the exhibition is an allusion to the polonaise – an elegant, historical dance symbolising pride and identity, which becomes a metaphor for slow but inevitable change. The exhibition concentrates on the latest Polish photography, which reveals architectural and symbolic spaces that were once associated with splendour and prestige but are now undergoing transformation and deformation. Here, Polonez suggests a dialogue between history and the present, between life and transience, posing questions about the meaning of heritage in a world entire of change.
