Karpacz, Karkonosze mountains, 1971

Chrząszczowa marked the photographs of twisted roots and gnarled branches as ‘bizarre plane trees’. The images are probably from a private trip to Lower Silesia in 1971, though Chrząszczowa had been documenting the region of the so called Regained Territories – Wrocław, Jelenia Góra, Zielona Góra, Kłodzko – since the late 1940s.
