Summary note
Streets of Crocodiles is a beautiful and critically significant book, which mixes photography and essays to explore postsocialist Europe. Focused on Poland and on the city of Lodz (from where both the photographer and essayist originate), this is an exceptionally powerful document of the transformations of post-Berlin-Wall Eastern Europe and an expose of the persistent anti-Semitism and other deep-seated hatreds. The stunning photographs by Kamil Turowski are shocking and moving as he persuasively captures the postsocialist landscape. Katarzyna Marciniak's contemplative writing incisively amplifies the affective charge of Turowski's dramatic imagery. Streets of Crocodiles is a striking accomplishment, a reminder that ̀new Europe' is also old Europe.--Dr Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University.
Streets of Crocodiles is a walk on the wild side, an expedition down a melancholy boulevard of dreams.--J. Hoberman, film critic, Village Voice, author of The Red Atlantis: Communist Culture in the Absence of Communism --Book Jacket.
