FREELANCER is a photographic dip­tych by Zbigniew Libera, made in the spring of 2013 – it is an allegorical self-​portrait of the artist as a social reject. The present publication, inspired by this remar­kable work, covers various sides of Libera, one of Poland’s most recognizable artists. His numerous and highly varied por­traits are artistic, documen­tary, jour­nalistic, and political. The body and the image of the artist are com­bined here with the ambiguous social role he plays. The face of Libera is invariably intriguing: as the physiognomy of a man and a citizen, as a biological mug and the mask of an actor.
