In 2015 the photographer Jakob Ganslmeier went on an extended tour of Poland in search of pictures that capture the country's social realities and way of life at a time of wrenching change. The title evokes Lonely Planet, and he took inspiration from the format of the popular travel guides, with recommendations grouped by categories. Crisscrossing Poland, covering more than ten thousand kilometres, he met widely different people and draws our attention to places that would never make it into a guidebook: a country of extremes, between boomtown optimism and decline, consumerism and poverty, gleaming façades and bleak village streets.
