Artist Statement
imperfections and a sense of the primitive—qualities that carry emotional truth. - Greene “If we keep it primitive, then we will get the iconic image… being perfect is boring.”.
preserve memory, invite questions rather than provide answers
inspiration - Brâncuși’s work - his devotion to form and light
after years of caregiving and living abroad - different approach and different maturity in photography
giving up all rules I followed as photojournalist (on photo: who? what? why? when?; immediate publication, always people on photos)
Questions/discussion:
“Laughing trough tears" - exhibition - what beside open calls? how to find suitable curator and work with her/him? how to find my audience?
I didn’t exhibit my wok in Poland - do you know anyone that would be interested in working with me?
My photo community is rooted in photojournalism - I grown out of this environment, I am looking for someone to discuss my projects - community/curator locally or internationally - recommendations are welcome
Possible directions for my project “After everyone” - what would you be interested that I explore more?
