DEJA-VU
Justyna Gryglewicz & Kinga Lubowiecka
The exhibition Deja-vu brings together works by two Polish contemporary photographers – Justyna Gryglewicz and Kinga Lubowiecka. The show’s title makes reference to the well known french term ‘deja-vu’, which literally translated can mean something ‘already seen’ or in more poetic terms implies a feeling of familiarity with the subject in view. One of the first uses of this term can be found in Paul Verlaine’s poem “Kaleidoscope” in which he reminisces and recollects wondering the street of London.
In this instance the term ‘deja-vu’ paints a picture of the type of images that one will encounter. The exhibition will present photographs that in the first instance remind us of abstract compositions. Nevertheless, on closer inspection they depict familiar every-day objects composed in an uncanny way. It can therefore be said that the work play on this feeling of the familiar and already-seen.
