We invite you to a curatorial tour led by Marcela Paniak of the exhibition which showcases the work of photography students. The tour takes place this Saturday, 26, July at 6 p.m.
The exhibition presents the works of students of the Faculty of Photography at the Lodz Film School, which are a processing of archival material of one of the most valued photographers from Łódź, commemorated by the Andrzej Różycki Photosophical Archive at the University of Łódź.
This year, the University of Lodz is celebrating its 80th anniversary, so we are happy to join the city's celebrations.
Lodz Film School students brought to life the archival material of one of the most valued photographers from Łódź, Andrzej Różycki. The invited participants worked according to the artist's own method of work, who in his series "FotoAndrzejoZofia" entered into a personal and artistic dialogue with the photographer and friend Zofia Rydet, creating collages from his and her photographs. This gesture - reviving the memory of a deceased, dear person - was repeated by contemporary artists.
Andrzej Różycki's collages were "uncollaged": divided into their first parts, into individual layers, and then symbolically supplemented. In this way, the resulting works allow us to both see and understand the creative methods of Andrzej Różycki. All the individual perspectives of the authors created a unique "sample" - a review of the most important motifs of the artist's collages, representing his unique, philosophical way of thinking about photography.
The exhibition is a continuation of the activities of the Photosophical Archive established at the University of Lodz from the collections of works and private collections of Andrzej Różycki. The mission of the Archive is to promote the concept of Photosophy which Andrzej Różycki implemented from the 1960s until his death in 2021. Operating at the interface of various fields, the Photosophical Archive participates, among others, in the educational process, conducting classes for students, as well as cooperating with various centres and festivals in Poland.
Artists:
Kacper Bijoś, Weronika Coghen, Natalia Dukin, Rui Gu, Adam Rudolf Karpiński, Olimpia Kopiec, Julia Lejawa, Weronika Mugaj, Jan Suchorab, Kacper Trzeci.
Curator: Marcela Paniak
Zin: Michał Wąsik
Coordination of the exhibition production on the part of the Photosophical Archive: Hanna Kireyeva
