The photographs from this project were presented in various ways – a reportage was created, which was published by the media, an exhibition and an album were also created. The album, for the publication of which the author received funds from the program Młoda Polska organized by the National Centre for Culture, was launched at the Łódź festival Fotofestiwal 2014. Also in Łódź Lach’s exhibition submitted to the Grand Prix competition was distinguished. Filip Ćwik was the curator of this exhibition.

Lach is more enclined to publish in the media, therefore his exhibition activity is irregular. He organized his last individual exhibition at the now defunct gallery Red Tree, where in 2011 he presented pictures from Moscow. “I hate Moscow and I love it at the same time. It’s a tough and toxic relationship” – said the author in the program “Rytm Miasta” broadcast by the television station TVN.
In the years 2010-2012 he was involved with the Institute of Journalism of the Warsaw University, where he lectured Press Photography and Photoreportage and New Media.
