Who cares / 2021
The project “Who Cares” combines three photographs from the series “Initiation” (2009) with the video works from 2021. The early photographs document the artist’s stage of formal experiments with negative and positive, while the films relate to the experience of apathy and being overwhelmed by everyday life. The juxtaposition reveals a shift from explorations of the medium to a critical view of the tools that shape expression - especially the smile - under the pressure of contemporary social expectations. The titular question remains open, directing attention to the relationship between the image and the viewer.
The project was presented as part of the main exhibition “Reincarnation” at Fotofestiwal Łódź.
