Mine Eyes Bees Deceive
Collective photography exhibition
- The Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle presents the first such large cross-sectional exhibition of Polish photography in many years. Its intention is to show the most intriguing contemporary ways of photographic imaging in art. Forty-six artists have been invited to participate. Among them are figures well-known and respected on the national and international art scene, such as Aneta Grzeszykowska, Rafał Milach, Joanna Piotrowska and Karol Radziszewski, but a number of them are artists who are only starting their careers.
- Prepared by Kamila Bondar and Łukasz Rusznica, the exhibition is a multithreaded story, divided into chapters, with human beings, human concerns, emotions and relationships at its center. The title of the exhibition Mine Eyes Bees Deceive indicates the fantastic dimension of the photographic images, which, freed from a purely documentary function, weave their own stories, proposing various, including very personal, interpretations of reality.
- “We are not neutral in our choices, we are as vulnerable and susceptible to the effects of the image as any other person,” the exhibition's curators declare. — Our role was to surrender to the pleasure of looking, and we invite the public to do the same.”
- The photographs presented in the exhibition often take on materially and spatially unobvious forms, and enter into a relationship with sculpture and painting. A separate space, arranged in the form of a chill-out area, has been dedicated to photography books, an extensive selection of which is available for free viewing. In turn, an additional voice accompanying the photographs is an exhibition guide composed of statements by the authors, which take a closer look at the context in which their works were created.
