Wroclaw Contemporary Museum invites you to attend Altars – an exhibition of Agnieszka Sejud’s photographs.
Altars can be regarded as the author’s subjective vision of contemporary Poland. The cycle of photographs taken by her is the result of an attempt to diagnose the condition of her homeland. The altar serves here as the leading metaphor of superficial religiosity dominated by plastic and trash, but mainly by egoism. In the distorted mirror created by Sejud, everyone prays to their own altar, has a short-sighted perspective and only takes care of their own business.
Agnieszka Sejud (born 1991) is a photographer and visual artist. She lives and works in Wroclaw. She graduated in law from the University of Wroclaw, but she never became a lawyer. She learned to take photographs in the Centre for Creative Attitudes. Now she studies photography at the University of Silesia in Opava, Czech Republic. She experiments with the medium of photography, using its large spectrum in her works: from documentary photography, through portraits and fashion, to photoshop and collage. She is inspired by everyday life.
Curator: Paweł Bąkowski
Vernissage: 2nd March 2019 (Saturday), 5:00 p.m., a photo gallery around the lift on the 1st floor
