Post-noir and somatic photos create a space for unraveling visually and imaginatively one of the most spectacular hybrid sports of our times: CHESSBOXING.
CHESSBOXING: FROM THE FRENCH COMIC BOOK TO THE WARSAW GYMS is the result of a collaboration between three Warsaw established photographers – Daniel Wiśniewski, Sebastian Sochanek, and Marek M. Berezowski.
The photo exhibition is curated in the Galeria UW, by sociologist Adriana Mica, University of Warsaw (IPSIR), and National Centre for Culture. The chessboxing project is longtime supported by Academia Gorila martial arts club, and the Foundation of Non-banal Initiatives.
