DESCRIPTION
The presented photo comes from my long term project titled: "Sovereign path of the eye". In that project I try to assign names to objects encountered accidentally in urban space: fragments of walls, stains on the wall,etc. Here one can try to paraphrase the philosopher Immanuel Kant and state: visibility without concepts is blind and concepts without visibility are empty.
AUTHOR
PIOTR NALEWAJKA, born in Poland, settled in Limerick (Ireland).
Photographer (professional member of Visual Artists Ireland since 2019) and Philosopher (PhD) exploring human condition mainly through abstract and documentary photography although remaining open in all photographic directions. His photographs were exhibited in several groups and solo exhibitions in Ireland, the U.K, Sweden, France and Italy.
"Basically, the goal of my photography is to be anti-ideological, to show visual examples of epistemological pluralism of photography. Therefore, this type of art and documentary practice can be treated simply as an exercise in empathy".
