Fotografia pochodzi z serii „Graffiti”, nad którą pracuję od kilku lat i jest dedykowana jednemu z czołowych artystów graffiti i malarstwa wywodzącego się ze sztuki ulicy, Jean-Michelowi Basquiat. (ml)
Still life is one of those subjects in art that never gets old, and in its repertoire one of the most common props is the skull. In today's art practices, its semantics of vanitas is exploited with new intensity, especially in street art and new expressionism. The graffiti I photographed is the work of an anonymous artist. And in my "remembering gaze," it evoked associations that relate to the longevity of skull iconography and various techniques of image production. Here, graffiti, decolletage, painter's paint, and a street painter's hand gesture connect the past to today, hic and nunc. The inscription "Wild East" ("Wild East") contextualizes the image: it creates an unsettling atmosphere relating to the cultural context of a country peripheral between East and West. My photograph is a result of the appropriation of this found graffiti. It has political overtones: it refers to the situation "in Poland or nowhere" from Alfred Jarry's drama Ubu the King or the Poles" (1888).
The photograph comes from the series "Graffiti", which I have been working on for several years and is dedicated to one of the leading artists of graffiti and painting derived from street art, Jean-Michel Basquiat. (ml)

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).
