Zygmunt Rytka (born in 1947 in Warsaw) – a self-taught photographer, video and installation artist, co-founder of the In Situ Foundation. From 70′ he has been associated with neo-avant-garde as an artist, also documenting artistic events. In 1974 he had his first show at the Remont Gallery, in 1975-1977 he was associated with the Wspolczesna Gallery. In 1974-2000 Rytka realized his Private Collection, documenting the life and work of his artist friends. For many years he realized his works “in cooperation with the Bialka river”. Asserting that the stones last forever and symbolise the eternity of nature, he set them in motion – questioning their static character. He has suffered from a serious illness for a number of years, which has limited his artistic activity.
