{"product_id":"extraction-by-michal-luczak","title":"EXTRACTION by Michał Łuczak","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpper Silesia has been a coal region for more than two centuries. Hard coal shaped its towns, its skylines, its labor cultures, its air. Since 1989, that foundation has been eroding — steadily, mine by mine, as deposits run out or seams sink too deep to be worth the cost. The Polish government has set 2049 as the date of final closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5016\/0524\/files\/EXTRACTIONbyMichalLuczakextra-6.jpg?v=1780413129\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichał Łuczak was born here and still lives here, in a house that tilts. The slant is measurable, though the family has long stopped noticing it. Outside, the pavement is slowly sinking. Across the street, a spoil tip — a mound of mining waste colonized by pioneer plants — waits to be hauled off for road fill. These are not metaphors. They are the physical grammar of a landscape hollowed out from below, still settling. In winter, the air is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5016\/0524\/files\/EXTRACTION_by_Michal_Luczak6.jpg?v=1780412808\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtraction is Łuczak's photographic account of this place — its surface and its subsurface logic, its architecture and its atmosphere, its people inside a slow industrial reckoning. The work does not position itself outside the problem: Łuczak's own household burns what is marketed as \"eco-pea\" coal in the basement boiler. What the photographs track is a landscape caught in an unfinished sentence — not yet post-industrial, no longer simply industrial.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sun archives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054368084309,"sku":"EX-TE","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5016\/0524\/files\/EXTRACTION_by_Michal_Luczak1.jpg?v=1780412807","url":"https:\/\/www.tipi-bookshop.be\/products\/extraction-by-michal-luczak","provider":"Tipi bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
