The title "Rzeczy" might seem intimidating at first, especially to English speakers. Translated from Polish it simply means "things”. With its jarring combination of letters, this word resonated as the perfect name for this series. It is a playful admittance of an inability to clearly articulate what drives the urge to stop and look closely. At first glance, neither the scene nor object might seem to hold any aesthetic value. The images resist easy categorisation, and are pulled together instinctively as a cohesive compilation.

Created over the past four years, these photographs are presented alongside the launch of a zine of the same title. These relatively small format prints on display are intended to emphasise the humble nature of both subject and medium, while the varied and individual style of the frames accentuate the diverse and humorous motifs.

Will is a London-based photographer who sought to free himself from the self-constraints and literal weight of “pro” camera photography. He was drawn to the immediacy and simplicity of just using his phone as a tool to take pictures, and found new freedom in capturing what caught his eye at any moment. He celebrates mundane daily existence, revealing lightness from under anthropogenic grit. His work aims to inspire others to find beauty in unexpected places, to create and collect their own treasures from the everyday world around them.
