Filter Photo is pleased to announce, “Post,” a solo exhibition featuring the work of Polish artist, Marta Zgierska.
In 2013, Zgierska survived a serious car accident. She writes, “I was close to death, and reality – one that I had been adapting to with difficulty – slipped through my fingers. This misfortune brought about another: surgeries, months of physical limitations, a breakup, and the return and aggravation of anxiety neurosis. The accident brought my photographic work to a halt. My mind was filling up with fragmentary memories, and sharp, detached details. My own physicality and pain became a source of images that felt more and more substantial and bodily as time passed.”
Post is a project about trauma, frozen in dead greyness, silence and tension. Everyone can find their own punctures here – exhausting dreams, fears, obsessions. An individual way of discovering a twin traumatic memory in another person, Post is an attempt at intimate contact, which closes the past non-experience in the present.
