To use Walter Benjamin's terminology, Gomulicki can also be called a producer of culture.

Looking at Gomulicki's work retrospectively, one notices the evolution of forms revolving around the categories of pleasure and ecstasy, already evident in the series of photographs shown in the 90s, ia, in the ZPAF-CSW Little Gallery; photographs which revealed a fascination with dolls and bodily parts, particularly parts of the female body, which the artist would render abstract by extreme close-up – an attempt to penetrate and decipher the carnal code of desire and fantasy.
