Zdjęcia, information
20 photographs and 9 objects, 2017
„The installation, titled “zdjęcia”, consisted of excessively starched clothes; though without bodies, marked by the trace of corps and limbs, costumes stiffly swollen, swelling of a lack. Part of the clothes - growing from a floor, leaning out from behind of railings, or supporting a wall - were a seemingly funny gesture, a provocative blink - however, in effect they were disturbing phantoms of the past. Next to them on the walls - photographs taken out from a family album, but with- out private and personal elements. The postcard format revealed just the clothes; figures of characters were precisely cut out, though they still existed there in some way, giving the clothes forms and shape. Family members become rectified to the borders, like from a folder, one click moved all biographical meaning to trash, pre- tending that it never was there or just proving that even if the cut is professional it’s impossible to escape from. Because these palpable artifacts, someway stray, still remained corporeal and intimate, though pretended to be dead, they were breathing with stolen and own life in the same moment.”
