Title A name given to the resource Disco Polo <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Shelfmark - 874.ULAND.KOROBKIEWICZ</span> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Paulina Korobkiewicz Description An account of the resource Disco Polo documents the aesthetics in Eastern Poland after 1989. This project focuses on the mixed influences from East and West, the effects of global capitalism on the Polish landscape dominated by consuming colourful advertising. Lack of experts in local housing associations resulted in randomly chosen shades, turning the streets into a vivid collage of pastel tower blocks. Project presents kitsch of rough-and-ready billboards, suburban night-clubs and bright-coloured concrete blocks. It explores omnipresent visual chaos in the urban landscape and search for a ‘better world'. Title Disco Polo represents locally popular music genre of the same name, which developed in Eastern Poland around the time of the political transition. The genre created its own aesthetics, from the outfits to the venues where it is performed. Naive lyrics and over-saturated video clips often embody longing for western capitalism and hope for better future. 'This picture of a plastic palm tree in the fog is from Paulina Korobkiewicz’s Disco Polo project, documenting the aesthetic of Poland’s transition to global capitalism after 1989. It’s an interesting example of how Western consumerism impacted the minds, tastes, dreams, aspirations and visual culture of the country. Many oppositions meet in this shot: not just East and West. There is a sense of melancholy to it, as well as a sense of humour. This photo of a modern non-place could exist in any corner of the world —but it also reflects something very unique to Poland.' - Anastasiia Fedorova, It's Nice That Subject The topic of the resource 220 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hardback, Linnen over board cover, Deboss outer cover, Section sewn, Case bound, Litho 4+4 + Matt coating Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Self-published #discopolo #paulinakorobkiewicz 1989 Aesthetics of Land architecture Billboards Capitalism colour photography Colourful Advertising Concrete Diaristic Eastern Poland everyday Hard Cover Housing Associations Human Experience landscapes photobook poland Relations Self-Publication Societal Suburban Night-Clubs Utopia
