TEMPORARY EXHIBITION

CONNECTION JAPAN – photography by Dominika Aurelia Korycka

21.02.2019 - 24.03.2019

 

In preparing ‘Connection Japan’ I followed the flâneur approach. During a month-long journey, I traversed Japan on foot while trying to escape the typhoons plaguing the country at that time. I recreated motifs associated with Japanese art and aesthetics in the photographs of people I met, shady scenes, sunrays deflected from phenomenal architecture or dispersed in atmospheric parks. Through the photographs selected for the exhibition I attempt to give an insight into the multifacetedness of Japan, made possible through the prism of sensitivities experienced there which I subjectively processed.

The photographs presented in the exhibition create a collage of sometimes complementary and sometimes contrasting pictures, thus communicating the content which usually eludes a selective view of the reality of Japan. In a Shintoistic way, I try to ‘connect’ two separate worlds – eastern and western ones – and I suspect I will succeed, since, according to Buddhism “treasures are already in my hands.”
