Agata Krajewska, Transience (Landscape (2018))

In this project, I am particularly drawn to the exploration of landscapes and scenarios that are visually ambiguous and not easily recognisable. I see landscape as something that should be rather felt than perceived. Thus, I strive to immerse myself in experiencing the world around me, simultaneously trying to translate it into visual language. A photograph becomes an intuitive reaction to the feeling, an extended representation of it for the viewer to reinterpret for himself. I frequently use black and white aesthetics, low key images where a minimal number of elements are lit by light. By using this methodology, the time and place often become unidentifiable, allowing the viewer to project his story into the photograph and perhaps learn something new about himself from this relationship.

Images have been resized for web display, which may cause some loss of image quality. Note: Original high-resolution images are used for judging.
