Wojciech Moskal: The rough industrial landscape of Sosnowiec, the place I grew up in, had a big impact on my visual perception. Perhaps that’s why it’s natural for me to see the world as a b&w picture. When I look at the city I see the unique poetry of it – people going about their everyday business, empty spaces full of mute emotions, hidden, abstract gems go unnoticed as we pass them by. In my pictures I attempt to capture Warsaw with and without make-up – this is what has captivated me from the beginning. I hope to convey the emotions that I felt while taking these pictures.

Inbox riddle: what does this image is saying?

by David Averbuch

suburbia gone wild

Martin Adolfsson, Millennium Park, Moscow

Martin Adolfsson: Suburbia, the word alone calls up images of monotonous perfection. More than a place, it is an identity. This one-size-fits-all existence and its pandemic spread around the world fascinates me.
For the last two years, I have photographed model homes and their landscapes in the newly emerging cities of the world: Bangkok, Shanghai, Bangalore, Cairo, Moscow and Johannesburg.
I will finish my examination with Sao Paulo and Mexico City.

Exteriors
The project looks at the concept of a passing sense of presence within a photograph, left buy a person(s) without physically having a human life in any image.

Interiors
My interiors are the documentation of student housing, capturing living rooms to convey the immediate past. By using this method I have created a frank and honest portrait of the students themselves.

Where are you Lotti?

There are things that are not that easy to explain.
Like Springsteen.
I normally don't like him very much.
I think he has become an american Lill-Babs.
He has become to popular, to mainstream, to kind for my taste.

But yet, when I listen to Rosalita from -73.
Then I forgot about those things.

Damn.

'Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers, winners use the door
So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for'

Has anyone said it better than that?

Ever?

exhibition: Identity Proofs - scene 2

Anyone who comes across Gliwice in April, please be welcome to visit the exhibition I'm opening tomorrow.

Identity Proofs – scene 2

Aneta Grzeszykowska / Joachim Schmid

Identity Proofs is a photographic exposition presenting works of artists dealing with the issue of identity. Four artists were invited to present individual projects at the Art ReadingRoom – new space created next to the Museum in Gliwice. In the first edition, which took place in March, we had a chance to see the works of Dita Pepe and Jerzy Lewczyński.

For the second edition, which will start on April 8^th, we invited a young Polish photographer, Aneta Grzeszykowska, and German artist-sociologist, Joachim Schmid.

The April exposition is supposed to focus the visitors’ attention on the problem of identity perceived through our ‘visual quality’, our personal appearance. Presented will be a series of illusional portraits of non-existent people by Aneta Grzeszykowska. Through digital manipulation of the image, the artist creates fake persons who are very convincing in their detailed appearance. This cycle will be juxtaposed with the work of Joachim Schmid’s, in which, as in most of his creation, he uses found photographs. Old, torn apart studio portraits – probably made for IDs’ – are organized in the way that produces new, double portraits. Combined features of two different people create a disturbing image of some new, unknown identity. Confronting the works of Schmid and Grzeszykowska should arise doubts and destroy our confidence in what and whom we actually see.
