„When I first moved from Switzerland to Warsaw, I brought some painkillers with me: red and white ones, just like the Polish flag. One year down the line, I’ve still got one left. So I obviously haven’t been in that much pain! The creation of ‘Polish Pills’ came about quite spontaneously and was completely unplanned. It was something personal I did for myself more than anything and I think it was my way of adapting to a new environment. I don’t mean this in any therapeutic sense but there was a definite need for me to do it. I wanted to understand this city, to become attached to it, to create a relationship with it, to love it. A couple of years after releasing the first edition of ‘Polish Pills’, I’m happy that now the second version saw the light of day, supplementing my illustrated chronicle of the years 2012–2014 by chapters covering locations other than the capital, and created during the second year of my sojourn.” – Fanny Vaucher
