Disassembly

Today's artwork is the last one presented in the framework of our new project "DailyArt Goes Contemporary" in cooperation with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. Until March 11th every Tuesday and Saturday we will show you the works of contemporary Polish artists that are now displayed in "As You Can See" exhibition at MoMA Warsaw. We hope you liked the whole idea :) Thank you! (Paweł) Bownik is a photographer. His works are related to conceptual photography, with clear references to the aesthetics of fashion and advertising photoshoots. Disassembly results from activities carried out on plants: each had been divided into parts with each part numbered and laid out, only to be re-assembled using drawing pins or adhesive and finally photographed. The aesthetic evokes calendar shots or occasional postcards. The photographs record the defragmentation of a living organism, carried out as if in the lab, a quasi-scientific activity aiming to emphasise the seductive beauty of the murdered plants.
