The aim of the article is presentation of Archiwum Fotozoficzne (the Photosophic Archive, later referred to as PhA) in terms of its profile and activity, traced from its initial premises, through current projects up to the future plans and wider context of the discourse around the contemporary art archives. It starts from the presentation of Andrzej Różycki, whose heritage is the basis of the PhA, as well as an analysis of the concept of photosophy, which he coined. Hence, different concepts of art, art and culture theory and collections relating to the idea of photosophy converge together in the idea of PhA. Its activity unfolds in three areas described in the article: education, research and art exhibition. The mode of the PhA presentation is determined by the personal view of the article author, who is at the same time its initiator of and its leader. Thus, the text is first person, autoethnographic account on Andrzej Różycki, initial premises of PhA, current projects and future plans and ideas.
