Among his most important exhibitions we highlight the following: Cartographies éparses in the Box Galerie (2019), Le temps éparpillé 1995-2015 (2015) in the Imagerie de Lannion and the Galerie VU (2015), Atles i altres cartografies (2013) at the Tagomago Gallery in Barcelona.

His work is interpreted as an exploration of universes always originating from the spectrum of the emotional. For him photography is nothing else than trying to map a fictional space filled with open, mysterious and ambiguous meanings that diminish the rational experience and that suggest the most poetic character of the image. His work is represented by Galerie VU (Paris), Fifty Dots Gallery (Barcelona), Box Galerie (Brussels), Espace JB (Geneva) and Tosei Gallery (Tokyo).

Documentary producer, photographer.
For a few years now, her camera has been accompanying Hassidim arriving from all around the world the old Tzaddiks – spiritual leaders – graves. More, she penetrates  hermetic circles of Jewish orthodoxy in Israel and United States portraying secretive, as often hidden from the Stranger’s eye, territory of everyday and ceremonies of people who devoted their life to the Torah.
Her strong Polish background creates phenomenon of seeking the „lost world”, traces of Jews who for centuries lived with Poles side by side with the tragic end of that close, national relationship which came with WW2.
The fact she is women, non-Jewish photographer, requires acceptance and flexibility of her orthodox characters what provides an additional flavor to her persistent quest.
In 2014, she received the National Geographic Traveler Photo Award for her work “First Time”. Author of over 20 monographic photo exhibitions displayed in The United Nation, NYC, Neve Shalom Istanbul, Polim Museum of Jewih History in WArsaw etc
Traczewska says:
“Despite our vast differences and cultural disparities, the side by side coexistence between Poles and Jews can be relived on a micro scale in my photographs. It is my sincere hope that by breaking my own stereotypes, I can inspire people from the world over to bridge gaps for a better and more unified socio cultural society.”

Nikola Radić Lucati, born 1971, has focused his recent work on the intersecting points of history, human rights and culture. His work is reacting to the patterns in the causalities of events as economic transactions that are forming the narrative structures, influencing the universality of projection of human rights and freedoms. The contexts of these transactions and their consequences are observed from the positions of a researcher, a witness and an analyst, attempting to influence their outcomes through the public application of findings in the media of photography, text and installation.

Among the recent projects are:

“Substitutive emigration” at the Remont gallery, Belgrade,
“Predictable Outcomes” on the architectural history of totalitarian ideologies, at “Europe. South East – Recorded Memories” at The Museum of Photography, Braunschweig,
“Basalt – during our absence” at the NBKM gallery, Belgrade,
