On the border of Masuria and the Kurpie region between the towns of Chorzele and Oprzeniec, there is a tall house with a sloping roof. In May 1930, President Ignacy Mościcki entered this building through a semicircular door, currently wide open by playing children. Above the entrance, there was an inscription “Border Guard Post Chorzele”, and on the balustrades of the balconies decorated with greenery, there hung portraits of the president and the slogan “The Guard is watching over the border!”.
A photographic journey along the borders of the Second Polish Republic. A story of people living in the forgotten borderlands, who formed the multinational mosaic of the II RP. Adventurers, smugglers, writers, artists, explorers and dreamers. But most of all, it’s about ordinary people who, despite the atrocities of the 20th century, were trying to survive on the erased border.
