Maciek Stepinski. Warsaw City Tennis Clubs

In his most recent project, prepared specially for the Kordegarda as part of the Room with a View series, Maciek Stępiński portrays selected fragments of Warsaw’s urban landscape. This time, Stępiński talks about places close to his heart: tennis clubs, in which he played or competed as a boy. The exhibition’s title, borrowed from a name of real tennis club, evokes the period of late communism, when tennis was an elite sport, a symbol of a better, ‘Western’ lifestyle and Warsaw’s tennis clubs stood out from the dull greyness of almost everything else.
