MØLLEÅEN
Med et kamera købt for kun 5 øre begyndte Grabowski sin efterhånden mangeårige dokumentation af Mølleåen i 1978. På trods af megen rejseaktivitet gennem årene har Grabowski gennem hele sin karriere holdt fast i sit projekt med at realisere sin vision om Mølleåen i billeder som kan formidle vandets betydning for livet og naturens magiske potentialer og Mølleåen er således den første for alvor visuelt orienterede bogudgivelse med fokus på områdets smukke natur og den indholder 150 billeder fra hele Mølleådalen optaget i perioden 1978-2010, detaljerede kort med præcis angivelse af optagestederne samt med tekster om Mølleåen og vort natursyn af Grabowski m.fl..
At the age of 12 Grabowski bought a professional Pentax camera for just 5 cent on a sale and growing up as a neighbour to Mølleåen, Mikkel spent his teenage years with his camera documenting the river, the lakes, the meadows, the surrounding forests not to forget the insects, birds and mammals. During the following 32 years he continued going back to this 30 km stretch of beautiful waterways and forests in order to make a thorough photographic documentation. In summer and fall 2009 I had two big outdoor exhibitions showing my pictures from Moelleaaen on the outside walls of Mosegaarden (Furesø Museer) and Farum Cultural House and I am currently working on my book "Mølleåen" by Mikkel Alexander Grabowski. Expected release is October 2010.

EXPO-92
From 1987 to 1993 Grabowski worked for ST&O Studio in Copenhagen, producing slideshows, multimedia- and video presentations for large industrial companies like Novo Nordic, FLS Industries, Carlsberg as well as some stately institutions (see list of clients). During his employment at ST&O Studio he became chief photographer of the danish multimediashow Danish Symphony at Expo-92 in Seville. The show consisted of an intricate puzzle made out of 30 individual pieces to form the full picture, projected onto seven huge screens with a total area of 225 m2. Informationsteknik was in charge of the technical achievements and architecturally, technically and artistically Jan Søndergards pavillon and the tailor made show inside it was state of the art and a true pioneer project for the time being.

Grabowski spent more than 2 years documenting Denmark, its people, the culture, industry, crafts, art, danish design, ship building, historical sites and objects for the multimediashow Danish Symphony for the World Fare in Seville, Expo-92. The show was exhibited continouesly every day for a period of six months and the music was composed by Wolfgang Käfer.
