Glass Faces by Joanna Borowiec

Glass Faces present unique, enchanting, climatic and hypnotising portraits. Bewitching with natural beauty and somewhat unreal, mysterious, silent and oozing various emotions.

Glass Faces present unique, enchanting, climatic and hypnotising portraits. Bewitching with natural beauty and somewhat unreal, mysterious, silent and oozing various emotions.

Faces of friends and people we have just met. Ambrotypes – positive images created on a sheet of glass using the 19th century wet collodion process – are the vital element of the project.

The ambrotype is inimitable. You may try to reproduce it, but a piece created on black glass remains unique. Ambrotype – Ambrotos means immortal…

“The eyes and faces all turned themselves towards me, and guiding myself by them, as by a magical thread, I stepped into the room”

-Sylvia Plath-

When you talk, sometimes you have to scream to be heard, but when you’re presenting an exciting image, everyone gets silent. A photograph enables me to depict a pure world abounding with tender gestures and even more tender glances, which never perish in the rushing clock of time. It also allows me to immortalize those that are closest to me.

Photography is my great passion which also allows me to enjoy solitude. It gives me shelter and entirely different living space. It enables me to take a peek into the untold aspect of the world. It puts me closer to people but also protects me from them. Also allows me to be someone I am not: a magician able to freeze this one selected moment.

Huis clos by Kathleen Meier

The series Huis clos confronts us with a suggestive confinement. What happens in us when we are faced with a desperate situation ? What do we feel when we no longer have a connection with the outside world ? Disorientation and loss of contact with the outside world put us into a physical and mental isolation and can lead us — in a conscious or subconscious way — to modify our relationship with the external reality.This maze slowly conducts us into a mental illness.
