Fotografia z serii „obrazów zawłaszczonych’. Minimalistyczny kadr o „wypłukanej” kolorystyce pokazuje beztroską ponadczasową atmosferę letniego dnia nad basenem, jak z reklamy biura podróży lub katalogu nieruchomości. To jednak pozór: symetryczna, osiowa kompozycja wciąga widza w wieloznaczną grę z przestrzenią, na granicy między lądem a wodą, zaburzając poczucie bezpieczeństwa i prowokuje do pytania: co naprawdę pokazuje to zdjęcie? Czy poruszona powierzchnia wody w basenie jest może świadkiem czegoś, co się tu przed chwilą tu wydarzyło? Moja fotografia staje się więc thrillerem psychologicznym, kadrem z film noire lub powieści detektywistycznej. Zwłaszcza przetwarza dwa źródła. Po pierwsze jest transtekstualną grą z wielowarstwową strukturą filmowego thrillera psychologiczno-erotycznego François’a Ozona z 2003 roku „Basen”. A także z erotyczną aurą obrazów Davida Hockney’a z cyklu „Baseny” z lat sześćdziesiątych, których czysta, pastelowa kolorystyka budująca pogodną, ponadczasową atmosferę współczesnej arkadii skrywa queerowe spojrzenie artysty.

A photograph from the series of "appropriated images". A minimalist frame with a "washed-out" color scheme shows the carefree, timeless atmosphere of a summer day by the pool, as from a travel agency or real estate catalog. However, in order to make an appearance: a symmetrical, axial composition of the viewer in an ambiguous game with space, on the border between the land, disturbing security and provoking the question: what does the picture really want to take? Can the disturbed surface of the water be a witness to something that just happened here? My photography becomes a frame, so a psychological thriller, with cinemas or detective novels. Especially it processes two sources. First of all, it is a transtextual game with a multi-layered structure of the 2003 thrill-erotic film "Pool" by Francois Ozon. And also with the erotic aura of David Hockney's paintings from the 'Pools' series from the 1960s, whose pure, pastel colors building a cheerful, timeless atmosphere of contemporary arcadia conceal the artist's queer gaze.(ml)

Marta Lesniakowska

Poland

Marta Lesniakowska is an artist photographer but also, at the same time, historian and art critic, she does research on visual culture. This is what determines his approach to photography: a strategy of the “look that remembers”, which recalls familiar images from the history of art in order to transmit/intertextualize them. Her dialogue with them consists in asking herself if it is possible to evoke their meanings and what they are or can be today. She is fascinated by light - its role in the construction of the image, the parergon that creates the image. This is why, in street photography, she analyzes the interplay of light and dark, the relationship between sharpness and blur and the interpenetration of images as simultaneous realities. In this way, she brings out the mysterious character of the city, referring to the aesthetics of black cinema and to the master of 20th century street photography, Saul Leiter.(ml)

When she takes photographs, nothing is more or less important to her; his gaze is often governed by the principles of minimalist poets: an economy of detail, the discovery of subtexts and insinuations hidden in invisible objects and bits of everyday reality.

Marta Lesniakowska lives and works in Poland. His works are part of public collections (National Museum in Wroclaw, Museum of Bydgoszcz) and private collections (Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, United States).
