Marcin Grüner is 25 years old and looking forward to the warm days.
MOSSLESS: What is the intention behind your therefore photography project ?
MARCIN GRÜNER: Therefore project is about these situations, things that we encounter in our everyday life, we often do not pay them any attention, because they can be obvious at first glance.. but if we look at them a little closer they can tell us very interesting, complex story, which may be the result of something good or something very bad. By this project I wanted to show something new, because I realize that at the present time there are a lot of online magazines about contemporary photography. In “Therefore Project” you can find works from photographers who are already well recognized in this particular scene, but also those little-known photographers, who makes great photos and deserves the same great applause.. I would like to develop this project as a handmade photo-book in the future..
ML: How is the south of poland at this time of year ?
MG: It is really freezing. Since a long time I don’t remember such a cold winter. In the past few days, temperatures drops here to -25°C. To be honest I don’t make much photos at the moment because I belong to those people who hates cold. I’m looking forward to the warm days, since a month i live in Cracow, and the truth is that I don’t know this city very well. I would like to bring my bike here, pack my cameras into the bag and explore the city.
ML: What music are you currently listening to ?
MG: Generally I’m kind of listener who changes with the seasons, for example.. in Winter I’m listening to lot of: nu-jazz, contemporary classical, electronic.. at Summer much more livelier music like: indie, folk. Recently I was at a wonderful concert from HiM (but not that crazy, Finnish HIM) and soon I’m going to see Little Dragon.. I absolutely love Yukimi Nagano’s voice, who is the main vocalist, and anyway, the entire Scandinavian jazz scene is really great!
ML: Any upcoming projects / series ?
MG: I have a few series in plans.. but the most I care about is completing a series of shots about garbage, how just with simple looking at trash, that we throw away each day, we can easily learn about the place and location of the trash bin.. for example, looking at the rubbish, which is close to fast-foods, you will see mostly used packs from hot-dogs; looking at trash, which is near cash machine, bin will be filled up with receipts which you get when you take out your money, etc.
