Paulina Korobkiewicz

Paulina Korobkiewicz is a London-based, Polish-born photographer who recently graduated from Camberwell College of Arts. Returning to her home town in eastern Poland after living and studying in London for three years, Korobkiewicz was struck by the contrasts that existed within these small towns, and began documenting what she saw. Focussing on architecture, she assembled a strange assortment of images – shabby suburban nightclubs, pastel-coloured apartment blocks, and all manner of kitsch aesthetic details.
