Mine Eyes Bees Deceive
Collective photography exhibition
- Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art presents the first large-scale survey of Polish photography in many years. Its intention is to show the most intriguing contemporary approaches to photographic imaging in art. Forty-six artists have been invited, including both well-established figures on the national and international art scene, such as Aneta Grzeszykowska, Rafał Milach, Joanna Piotrowska and Karol Radziszewski, and emerging talents at the beginning of 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 centre. 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.”
- Many of the works in the exhibition take on unexpected material and spatial forms, engaging in dialogue with sculpture and painting. Additionally, the exhibition is accompanied by statements from the artists that provide insight into the contexts in which the works were created. A dedicated chill-out space has been arranged for visitors to explore a wide selection of photobooks, available for free browsing.
