Zofia Kulik

Module I, 2002
40 x 60 cm
Silver gelatin print

Zofia Kulik's Modules series includes a group of symmetrical, allegorical, and ornamental small photographic compositions created as photomontages, using multiple exposures of negatives onto photographic paper through precisely prepared stencils. Visually, the works are constructed based on the mirror reflection. The starting point for the work is Kulik’s extensive archive, a collection of black-and-white images. The most essential part is the Archive of Gestures, which includes approximately 700 photographs of Zbigniew Libera in various poses quoted from iconography from art history. 
Kulik is always interested in rhythm and repetition. She explores the relationship between opposites, by using photographs of symbols and objects common to communism and catholicism.
