“PERSONAL PORTRET”
The exhibition “Personal Portrait” shows selected works created since 2017 during the four editions of the project of the same name, which was organised as part of the well-known and popular “Wszyscy jesteśmy fotografami” cycle. “Personal Portrait” refers to the idea of the monodrama as an intimate encounter between the artist and the public, and at the same time to the classic form of making a photographic portrait, which is the result of the encounter between the photographer and the photographed. During the portrait sessions, the artists met with people selected from hundreds of submissions. It was a time of attentive observation – especially of the protagonists of the pictures, but also of the creative process of the portrait painters. The result is unique portraits that are collected in the exhibition to form a visual story about the strategies of portraying.
