The construction of the pictorial field of this minimalist black and white photograph is based on geometry and light. You cannot see the light, but it is the light that makes you see anything: the very visibility of the object. As in many of my photographs, I draw here on the cinematic means developed in German expressionism that define the film noire style: the so-called low tone/low key lighting (low key), i.e. an image with a dark grey scale, a hard contrast of black and white and light, which gives a dark image of 'dark on dark' and a predominance of shadows, the use of diagonals (diagonal lines) in the composition. The pictorial field thus organised determines the psychophysiology of reception, evoking negative emotions, sadness, disapproval, drama, etc. The film noire style used in this photograph (as well as in my other works) transmediates with that modernist tradition to ask how and why they resonate in the metamodern photography I practice today.

Marta Lesniakowska is an artist photographer but also, at the same time, historian and art critic, she does research on visual culture. This is what determines his approach to photography: a strategy of the “look that remembers”, which recalls familiar images from the history of art in order to transmit/intertextualize them. Her dialogue with them consists in asking herself if it is possible to evoke their meanings and what they are or can be today. She is fascinated by light - its role in the construction of the image, the parergon that creates the image. This is why, in street photography, she analyzes the interplay of light and dark, the relationship between sharpness and blur and the interpenetration of images as simultaneous realities. In this way, she brings out the mysterious character of the city, referring to the aesthetics of black cinema and to the master of 20th century street photography, Saul Leiter.(ml)
When she takes photographs, nothing is more or less important to her; his gaze is often governed by the principles of minimalist poets: an economy of detail, the discovery of subtexts and insinuations hidden in invisible objects and bits of everyday reality.
Marta Lesniakowska lives and works in Poland. His works are part of public collections (National Museum in Wroclaw, Museum of Bydgoszcz) and private collections (Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, United States).
