Artificiality and representation: exploring the materiality and socio-historical context of traditional costumes
Polish artist Pawel Bownik (born 1977) makes large-format photographs inspired by the classic iconography of historical still lifes, genre painting and 1940s American cinema aesthetics. By carefully dissecting and reconstructing the elementary components of his subjects, he examines the artificiality of the medium.
