"In Love with Nature" by Krzysztof Szlapa.
Everything that exists has a mystery. All kinds of creative activities, including those related to the visual arts, are an attempt to get closer to what is contained between the lines, or rather between the images, as Michelangelo Antonioni himself once put it in an interview. Namely, to what is unrecorded, unarticulated, unspoken expressis verbis. The more we are able to...
Do you still remember me? PRL in the lens of local press photojournalists on the example of Cieszyn
Much more can probably be said on the subject by art historians or cultural scholars involved in the preservation and study of the photographic archives left behind by photojournalists employed until 1989 in the editorial offices of local weekly newspapers, covering mainly medium-sized cities and their adjacent regions, since the local so-called county press (in today's form of municipalities and...
We share photography. A conversation with the team of RPL&CAK's Photography Department
Julia Stachura: We are in the Provincial Public Library and Center for Cultural Animation in Poznan. At first glance, I would not associate this place with photography, and as it turns out, it plays a special role here. Tell us something about yourself, what is your artistic background and what paths led you to the photography department? Matthew Kiszka: I studied photography at the...
Amadeus Spruce Cottage
Long-term documentary projects are not an overly common choice among photographers today. There are several reasons for this. The media lives on fast news, an overwhelming number of photos are published on mass social media - where they also capture the attention of viewers for only a fraction of the time. Many modern photographers seduced by the technical ease of recording digital photographs succumb to mass trends, publishing easily digestible images online,...
Michael Konrad - a self-portrait of thought
If I had to answer the question of what photography is, I would answer that creating an image, the basis of which is independent thinking. If someone were to ask me what life is about, I would answer similarly - that life is about independent thinking every minute of it. For several years I have been making self-portraits, my figure has become an indispensable part of my photographs, using...
Apocalypse according to Christopher Miller
Polish photography chronically suffers from a lack of figures, if not legendary, then at least of great stature. One of the few shrouded in an aura of contemporary authority is Krzysztof Miller. Born in 1962, Miller, like many of his contemporaries, not only participated in the events of martial law, but also actively began to convulse the decline of communist Poland with photography. In the second half of the 1980s, he approached the circle of...
Systematic study of ceremonies
In the context of Arnold van Gennep's scholarly dissertation "Les rites de passages", which is, as the subtitle states, "A Systematic Study of Ceremonies", the choice of baptisms, communions, weddings and funerals as subjects of a photographic series under the title borrowed from the French anthropologist seems to be a most justifiable step. However, in Przemyslaw Pokrycki's extensive project, carried out since 2005, funeral rituals have become...
Transgression - Magda Hueckel and georgia Krawiec
I am, I exist, I live. Three words, none of which brings us closer to the mystery of our existence. I and my body, the world and my reality in it. The eternal lessons of darkness*. The body is the visual evidence of our being, the bridge between the spiritual interior and the external material world. Uniquely, it happens to a person to establish a thread of communication with the individual - other - interior....
Kamil Myszkowski - The world is a library
On January 21, 2022, the exhibition "Paper Landscapes," featuring photographs, installations and objects by Kamil Myszkowski, opened at the Sielecki Castle Art Center in Sosnowiec. The exhibition was on display until April 16, 2022. The starting point for the exhibition "Paper Landscapes" is a series of photographs I have been implementing successively since 2018, in which I refer to classical photography....
