The „Generation” book (
Generacja) pictures the Warsaw punk and reggae scene in the mid-1980s. The album includes 160 photographs of Michał Wasążnik who closely portrayed the bands and their fans: at the stage, in backstage, on route, during parties, on the street of socialist Poland. Pictures are accompanied with a text composed by Robert Jarosz from the statements of the music scene members and short introductions to the political and cultural events in the counter-culture, as well as socio-political situation of the Polish People’s Republic.
The book gives voice to musicians like Robert Brylewski (bands Brygada Kryzys, Izrael, Armia), Tomasz Lipiński (Brygada Kryzys, Tilt) or Paweł „Kelner” Rozwadowski (Deuter, Izrael), but also Paweł „Konjo” Konnak from the Gdansk artistic group TotArt or the organizer of the Jarocin festival Walter Chełstowski. Jarosz also managed to reach former authorities like Jerzy Urban (press secretary of Polish government in 1981-1989) or Aleksander Kwaśniewski (back then a Minister for Youth and an editor the youth magazine Sztandar Młodych, later a president of Poland).
