"Ewa Rubinstein is a master of recording through photography the sphere of human presence where its imprint is barely visible. These are delicate, unobtrusive traces, and at the same time, readable to a sensitive recipient; places that have not yet cooled down on the crumpled sheets, a door ajar, dried flowers, a curtain blown out by the draft, or a ladder left in the orchard. It is a specific, distinctive way of seeing detail, marking it with loneliness, a break in the journey called life. Showing the servitude of objects is not so much a story about them, but an elegy about man, including ourselves. We know that each photograph is a story about yourself, your state of mind and emotions. For me, and I deeply believe that also for many others, it is also a realization of the importance of self-knowledge and understanding and that thanks to photography you can access layers of your consciousness. And this is what happens when we look carefully and deeply enough at Ewa Rubinstein's photographs. – writes Marek Szyryk, exhibition curator.

Here is what Wojciech Stanisław Grochowalski, also the curator of the exhibition at SZKLARNIA, writes about the works of Ewa Rubinstein: “She does not give titles to her photographs, she signs them with the date, place or other necessary information. She likes it when each recipient interprets her works individually, without relying on titles. Her photos, apart from portraits, are mostly places but also objects related to human presence. We feel the presence of a person in them; someone who left the place, leaving an object behind, and we can ponder why they left, for how long, and whether they will come back.”
