Janusz Kaczmarek
an industrial suburb of Gdansk, Poland
Janusz Kaczmarek, at 72, is anchored to a rhythmic existence as a graveyard shift security guard in Gdańsk's outskirts. He meticulously observes his nightly routine — polishing boots, sipping from a thermos of strong tea, noting the sparse traffic in his logbook. His life is molded by practical concerns and the comforting hum of his home, a ground-floor flat with an unlocked door, keeping him in a sense of peace and vulnerability.
