Fulfill the Dream is a documentary photobook by Polish photographer Magdalena Wosinska that captures the American skate culture of the ‘90s through color and black-and-white snapshots. The scene’s energy, creativity, and rebellious spirit influenced fashion, music and artistic expression, shaping a generation of American underground youth. The book features Chad Muska, Austyn Gillette, Jim Greco, Harold Hunter, Ed Templeton, Eric Ellington, Ali Boulala, and many other influential skaters.
Beyond the book’s broader examination of American skate subculture, Wosinska’s project is a deeply personal journey through her teenage years and an exploration of what it means to be a misfit in a world of misfits. She presents some of her first photographs, taken at the age of 14.

What Once Was is an imaginary portrayal of friendship and masculinity. The series is a vivid portrait of young adults in several European countries, carefully stylised, but still very close to Van Dartel’s sense of friendship.
"The series shows a world in which we acknowledge that everything and everyone is connected to each other. I believe we should emphasise the connection to nature more. One should have the freedom to give their own meaning to those connections, however, stereotypes limit this freedom. With What Once Was I want to show that masculinity eventually is all about humanity, and that humanity is always associated with a vulnerability and dependency to nature." DVD
