Invisible Maps

 

Meeting to mark the publication of Andrzej Kramarz’s photographic publication Niewidzialne mapy (Invisible Maps), which will provide a unique opportunity to meet the photographer along with Dariusz Czaja, the author of the text that accompanies the book. This book is very visually intensive, full of signs, tracks and symbols without clear instructions for how to interpret them. As Czaja writes, (…) the photographs defiantly guard access to themselves, not allowing for any easy or un-conflicting reading. They do, however, provoke us into conceiving our own narratives, into constructing our own continuations. We try to make a coherent whole (sometimes by force) out of the viewed images, try to make the rebuses speak to us. We therefore construct our own tales, in which the visible begins to be dressed in a meaningful piece of communication (or so we think…).

 

Meeting organised in collaboration with the Art Library | Gliwice Museum – publisher of Invisible Maps.
Meeting will be led by Agnieszka Sabor
