Tomasz Marek Sobieraj, born in 1964 in Lodz, Poland. Writer, poet, essayist, literary critic and – last but not least – photographer. Studied at the University of Lodz, MA in geography and hydrology. My photographs combine the realism of photography with the fluidity of dreams; these are usually social essays, sequences, narratives – made in a traditional way, not digitally modified, often using in-camera multiple exposures on film or self-made pinhole camera. Photographic works: “Colossal Mug of the City”, “I Love Your Bad Beauty” (photo-video),“A Perfect Day”, “Crosswise” (photo-video, with Andrzej Nowicki), "A Perfect Day", “Our Street is Quite Ordinary”, “Cries”, “Compositional Masses”, “Street of Crocodiles”, “Song of the High Wind”, “Photo-poems”, “Banal Objects”. Exhibitions in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Lithuania, Serbia, Belgium, Ireland and the USA. Books: “The Game” (“Gra”, poetry, 2008), “Panopticon” (“Dom Nadzoru”, short stories, photographs, 2009), “The War of Flowers” (“Wojna Kwiatów”, poetry, 2009), “General Theory of Autumn” (“Ogólna teoria jesieni”, novel, 2010), “Obiekty Banalne – Banal Objects” (photographs & monodrama; essays by Krzysztof Jurecki, Katarzyna Karczmarz, Joanna Turek, 2011. |
