Darkness & Light

February 4, 2023 - March 4, 2023

WHAT
The late Polish photographer began his photography in the mid-1970s and traveled throughout Europe and China, documenting different cities’ appearances through his lens. A master of black-and-white photography and chiaroscuro, his photographs possess a unique and recognisable style in his portrayal of natural landscapes and interior spaces. In the exhibition, 26 of his black-and-white hand-printed artworks are presented, including multiple series of the photographer’s《TTyłem- Dos au Mur》and《Eine kleine Nachtmuzik》.

WHY
For Konopka, the great charm of photography comes from darkness and shadow. Instead of capturing fleeting moments, his camera allows fragments of reality to emerge against dark backgrounds. His photographs draw viewers in, prompting them to appreciate the grey nuances and tiny details hidden in the shadows; to explore how images transition from darkness into light; and immerse themselves in the serene and mysterious interior spaces, especially in the peculiar perspectives of the portraits.
