„12”
Marcin Burbo, Aleksandra Dziedzic, Krzysztof Goliński, Agnieszka Jaźwińska, Jakub Kercz, Grzegorz Norberciak, Jan Przybyszewski, Jacek Sadecki, Marta Szamburska, Michał Wielowiejski, Maja Zembrzuska, Agnieszka Ziobro
Twelve is the number of project participants and also the number of frames in a middle-size negative all pictures will be registered on. Ich of the participants has only one frame of the same film to use.
The objective of this project is to show that each person from the group who study photography tutored by the same teachers has the ability to present their own subjective vision of reality. Each of the participants possess the knowledge and has to choose what is for her or him most important, what will mirror the personality and tell about the interests. The possibility of taking just one photograph forces to make a decision. "12" is a brave project based on mutual trust of all the group members. None of the students know what pictures are taken by other participants. The result will be a surprise both for the audience and the authors.
The end of traditional photography has been prophesized many times. This very project proves that traditional photography exists and young authors remember analogue photography is an everyday lesson of humility. Analogue photography teaches the respect to the materials and requires the time for consideration before taking the picture.
The participants are the students of the 5th year at the Department of Media Arts and Stage Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
