Zula is a London based, Polish born Photographer and videographer. She spoke with me after a 100 day journey through Eastern Europe where she photographed and interviewed 104 people. She travelled 7325km on public transport, whilst sewing together a "curtain" made from pieces of fabric brought to her by each person she spoke with - the curtain is 3meters by 2meters and is a homey reminder that through periods of iron hard ruling and attempts to control people, the stories and lives lived amongst it all are very human and handmade. The apparent divide between and within people is all "Nothing But A Curtain". Zula's layered work explores displacement, belonging and gender identity.
