Tomasz GodzowatySports Features. New works 2008-2010 continues the successful exhibition series related to a big photo project by Tomasz Gudzowaty. The whole Project consists of forty essays, dedicated to different sport disciplines, mainly ethnic and traditional, but also to the ones belonging to the modern, urban culture. The common element of all is the perspective of the sport - seen as an activity, both physical and spiritual, influencing human life and social environment, and very often expressed at the ritually-religious level. In the world dominated by media, where the major and often the only measured value is the popularity and the financial success, Tomasz Gudzowaty reveals unknown sides of the sport, and new ways of visual interpretation.

The first Sports Feature exhibit traveled to several cities in Europe in 2007 through 2010. The present exhibition showcases pictures from the recent essays by Tomasz Gudzowaty, many of them awarded in World Press Photo, Pictures of the Year and Best of Photojournalism contests. As a supplement, we offer a special edition of the magazine 'Yours Portfolio', including pictures from nine earlier essays completed in 2002-2007.
