Praca pochodzi z realizowanych od kilku lat dwóch serii: „Puste pokoje” i „Muzeum”, w których poddaję refleksji puste wnętrza jako odmianę martwej natury i gdzie uaktywnia się stara strategia ikonograficzna, jaka nigdy się nie kompromituje.
W Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao praca współczesnego hiszpańskiego artysty Dario Urzay’a „Museo imaginario” (2021) jest jedną z trzech, w których malarz analizuje temat "wyimaginowanego muzeum". Wbrew tytułowi, na jego obrazie jest realnie istniejące wnętrze muzealne, gdzi praca jest eksponowana. Moja fotografia dialoguje więc z dwiema przestrzeniami i ich złożoną grą/współprzenikaniem się: między przestrzenią rzeczywistą (sala Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao) oraz jej obrazem w pracy D. Urzay’a. W tej klasycznej mise en abyme: obrazie w obrazie, przywołuję pojęcie cytatu jako naczelną zasadę re-prezentacji, która odsyła do innych obrazów, ikonograficznych zapożyczeń, wynajdywanych w rzeczywistej przestrzeni i następnie wtórnie poddawanych re-kontekstuaizacji.
W tej złożonej sytuacji wizualnej i semantycznej moja fotografia staje się więc wydarzeniem ontologicznym, w którym ma znaczenie formalny język, jakiego użyłam. Pole obrazowe jest dyscyplinowane zasadami poetów-minimalistów: ekonomia szczegółów, odkrywanie ukrytych podtekstów i aluzji w niezauważalnych fragmentach codziennej rzeczywistości i powierzchowności rzeczy. Ostrość, prostota ujęcia, precyzja kompozycji – wszystko to pokazuje, że fotografia nie jest kontyngentna/ przypadkowa, ale tak jak malarstwo jest zdolna wytwarzać obrazy mocne, realizujące porządek kompozycyjny jako zasadę zwartej i zdyscyplinowanej budowy obrazu. (ml).

The work comes from two series that have been in progress for several years: "Empty Rooms" and "Museum," in which I reflect on empty interiors as a variation of still life and where an old iconographic strategy that never compromises itself is activated.
At the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, contemporary Spanish artist Dario Urzay's work "Museo imaginario" (2021) is one of three in which the painter examines the theme of the "imaginary museum." Contrary to the title, there is a real-life museum interior in his painting, where the work is exhibited. My photograph thus dialogues with two spaces and their complex interplay/interplay: between the real space (the hall of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao) and its image in D. Urzay's work. In this classic mise en abyme: image within an image, I invoke the concept of quotation as the guiding principle of re-presentation, which refers to other images, iconographic borrowings, invented in the real space and then secondarily re-contextualized.
Thus, in this complex visual and semantic situation, my photography becomes an ontological event in which the formal language I used matters. The pictorial field is disciplined by the principles of the poets-minimalists: economy of detail, uncovering hidden subtexts and allusions in unnoticed fragments of everyday reality and the superficiality of things. The sharpness, simplicity of the shot, precision of the composition - all this shows that photography is not contingent/accidental, but, like painting, is capable of producing strong images, realizing compositional order as a principle of compact and disciplined image construction.

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).
