Unneces­sary Warsaw Corres­pondent

Katharina Marszewski

The exhibition Unnecessary Warsaw Correspondent reveals an array of visual material and sources of non-linear events. The small-format photographs, previously glued into notebooks, depict façades, gazes, acts, lines of text and locations for possible scenarios. On the streets of her native city of Warsaw, the artist found the material for a language that she didn’t want to forget. One can see a longing for expression – or perhaps for another identity? ‘The city I couldn’t live in became my muse.’ Her self-imposed role as fictional correspondent reads like an unusual report, rich in associations. At the same time, she breaks with conformist expectations for a uniform narrative and uses her photographs to visualize other planes of reality in collages and arrangements.
