\u201cThe Gardener\u201d is a photographic project signed by Jan Brykczynski, a photographer who in his work often focuses on rural regions of Europe. In 2014 he has published his first book \u201cBoiko\u201d on rural life in Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. His work from Icelandic farms brought him the Syngenta Photography Award Professional Commission. That allowed him to create \u201cThe Gardener\u201d project on urban farming, a book released in 2015.<\/p>\n
This new work looks at how city dwellers try to connect with nature, his publisher, Dewi Lewis, explains. The book documents urban gardens in Nairobi, New York, Warsaw, and Yerevan in Armenia. The pictures he took are dramatic and grasps the human fight against excessive urbanization and the growing pollution phenomenon.<\/p>\n
