The questionnaire series by Arne Schmitt brings together text and photographs to explore how we relate to cities and what these relationships are like compared to our interpersonal relationships.
The form the questionnaire takes goes back to Max Frisch – with 25 questions on a life-impacting topic that are directed in a straight and earnest manner at the readers. The starting point is always general, shared experiences in regard to a specific city, its language and its characteristics.
Kwestionariusz Kraków / Questionnaire Krakow puts the aspect of historicity at the forefront of its exploration: How does the visible ubiquity of history affect our relationships? Does it constitute an important foundation, something of value – or is it rather baggage, an eerie burden from the past?
