They all study at Łódź Film School together. The sisters emphasize, how all the girls are different, but they connect through extreme sensitivity, ambition, power, and more than anything else, enormous fire in the hearts.

Meet Julia Łuczywo - another photographer we invited to Balagan Going Places. Julia, who lives in Warsaw recalls, how in this unusual time, when the world stopped for a while, she started noticing her neighbourhood in a new way. In this new reality, the time passed by slowly and her senses sharpened. She got inspired by talking to loved ones, books, people passing by on the street, dogs, music, grocery stores and shapes of clouds, funny animal videos. See the photos Julia took with her beloved Olympus camera, which has been with her for the past 10 years. She loves how, both in an urban and natural environment, various colours, patterns, textures and light complement one another. Discover Balagan in her lens.
