The richness of cultures, colours and ways of the local people\u2019s life can be clearly seen in the works carried out as part of the project \u201cPhotographic recording process inspired by a family portrait at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n What is interesting is not only the geographical scope of the project, but also the way of its creation. Wojciech Kukuczka, PhD knocked on the doors of private houses and asked their residents to pose for a photo with their entire family. Then, he asked them to arrange the space as they want and pose without moving for 10 seconds. However, instead of traditional photographs, he recorded continuous images. According to the author of the project, the use of this form allowed him to shift the centre of gravity from the effect of the work to the process itself.<\/p>\n \u201cThese 10 seconds, in a sense, unconsciously transport my heroes from the field of photography to the world of performance or theatre\u201d says Wojciech Kukuczka, PhD \u201cbut it\u2019s a rather unusual form, because the only tool for creation is stillness.<\/p>\n In this form, the lack of movement will never be complete. When posing for photos, the characters of the paintings blink, smile and make faces. We can see their small gestures in the video \u201cBecome a Photo\u201d produced by the Media Communication Centre of the University of Silesia, in which the researcher talks about his artistic journey through India.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to show a little about India, about the people living there, customs and culture, but also about man and his attitude towards himself. Above all, this project was a great adventure for me, an opportunity to meet wonderful people who showed me a lot of kindness and friendship\u201d sums up Wojciech Kukuczka, PhD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WF-Gj6Oopcg”]\r\n Wojciech Kukuczka, PhD<\/p>\n Faculty of Arts and Educational Science<\/em> Bartosz Solak<\/p>\n Ryszard Tyl<\/p>\n Media Communication Centre<\/em> \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[vc_separator]\r\n The project \u201cPhotographic recording process inspired by a family portrait at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries\u201d by Wojciech Kukuczka, PhD was financed under the \u201cFreedom of Research\u201d competition as part of the Research Excellence Initiative of the University of Silesia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1620308023905{background-color: #eaeaea !important;}”][vc_btn title=”“FREEDOM OF RESEARCH – SCIENCE FOR THE FUTURE“ SERIES” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”blue” size=”sm” align=”right” css=”.vc_custom_1698913936944{margin-top: 4px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus.edu.pl%2Finicjatywadoskonalosci%2Fswoboda-badan-nauka-dla-przyszlosci%2F|||”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1698913760376{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”] Wojciech Kukuczka, PhD [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1620304473772{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space […]<\/p>\n
