6 In the proposition a world is as it were put together experimentally... (As when in the law-court in Paris a motor-car accident is represented by means of dolls) The quotation from Diaries of Ludwig Wittgenstein has become a pretext for making films recorded by lenses in the shape of words. Thanks to this technique, words have been disclosed in moving pictures, which however do not represent their referent. The mind jumps between interpretation of picture and reading of the word placed in the picture. The work can concoct a certain conflict that can arise in the spectator s mind: how important will really be a word used in the picture, and how important will be the picture or sound itself?

8 If everything is repeating, installation, 3D prints, auto-generated mapped textures, 2014 If everything is repeating The problem of automation of the photographic process - photography as a mass production with a reflection on the appropriation of objects by reference to the methods of representation. On the exhibition are shown the outer layers of objects pulled from the surface by an automated camera. And printed in 3D a figure of the monument, using the same application, the artist photographed again and prints again. He repeats this process several times. Each new object loses focus - details are disappearing and elude.

10 Dolna gallery - sketch for a project, installation, charcoal drawing, 2014 Dolna gallery - sketch for a project In one simple treatment succeeded to transform the interior of the gallery in a three-dimensional drawing. Dobiszewski marked with a thick black line all the corners altering perceptions of space. Architectural forms have become more painting. White exhibition halls began to resemble a drawing, grew softer as paper mock-up.

16 Fixation The basis for the Fixation exhibition was transfer of the technique used in marketing research (*eye-tracking) into the sphere of art. The artist asked to participate in the research a group of dozens of people, who were presented with the visual stimuli in the form of films, photographs and illustrations. The aim of the project was to show other possibilities to decipher the reality, to expand the consciousness of perception of the recipients and to provoke them to consider perception.

18 Temporary internet photos, interactive installation, internet cafe, printer, photography, 2012 / fot. Marek Gardulski Temporary internet photos When browsing any website all images are stored in memory of computer and automatically in real time printed, and then hung on the wall. When you browse the internet a spectator unknowingly becomes a kind of wizard of random photographs, it becomes co-creator of the exhibition.

20 Temporary internet files Surfing around the World Wide Web, we unknowingly gather images which document that journey. They are stored in an album of our virtual travels to the Temporary Internet Files folder. Photographs, graphics, animations seem to be postcards, because we re not their authors, we just unknowingly collect them. Just like we don t know the person who made that postcard, we re unable to determine whether a given situation took place in reality or it is a creation of a fictitious world. During the virtual travels we don t search in the images we watch for the signs of the bygone, we just find meanings and symbols time and place go into oblivion.

22 Movemental Objects in photographed rooms are dislocated, the space is blown and fragmented. Making an effort is required to rearrange the image and put it back together into a whole. Imagined movements which we make in our minds reflect our knowledge of the world and result from our experience in perceiving images. The level of dislocation of objects in a photograph can vary, and still it becomes clear that gradually, with practice we gain great ability in rearranging images in our heads. Thus a photograph as a complete image will exist only in our minds, photographic reality will turn out to be virtual...

27 Hidden trips Collection of undeveloped films, exposed during trips in years Images recorded on films potentially exist, it seems they can be displayed. However they are not to be seen. We can only listen to the sounds the artist recorded during his trips. Based on these sounds only we have to create our own image of locations, events, views and people. In our memories different sensual stimuli are mixed creating a general impression.

31 Memorabilia The viewer entering the exhibition space is suddenly attacked by a series of images that are foreign to him, that are coming from someone else s world, that are a reflection, a metaphorical flashback of the memory of the author, who invades our mind with his past. The flash brings out the black out of the white and in a short second the image is restored in the form of an afterimage.

34 Timing The progress bar is a visual signalling device reflecting the progress of work performed by a machine. In fact, we do not know what is actually happening, what activities have been performed and what remains to be done. We often anxiously observe such progress bars on our screens rushing it go on! ; unfortunately we are unable to speed the process up. We have no influence on the figures. Video amusingly draws our attention to what technology hides from us, at the same time indicating the limitations of a stable picture frame. We will not see nor learn about anything more than what we see. Sabina Czajkowska Timing, video, 2009

36 Re-medium Tomasz Dobiszewski in his work Re-medium creates a camera out of a pill pack. The space in which the image appears is where the pill lay just a moment ago. The image might be then a vision after the pill has been taken, or this vision might be the consequence of taking the image. The author, for whom, pinhole photography has always been an uncovering medium, is trying to convince us, by putting instructions next to the photographs of how to use them in the shape of an informative brochure added to the medicine, that during the times of visual pauperisation the images will still appear, even if only as placebo.

42 Palingenesis A pinhole camera placed on the ceiling registers the view of rooms where little furniture was installed on the walls. In this way two different scales of the objects photographed clash merging into illusory blend of the real and the staged.

45 Pinocycle The author travels around the city with a camera installed on the bicycle frame. This way of shooting from the top takes some unpredictable effect. On the photographs we see the vehicle frame, blurry hands of the artist, a curved line of the horizon and irregular streaks of light, but in this case only the clear bike is the subject of photos?

48 exhibitions [chosen] Bio Tomasz Dobiszewski (born in 1977) in 2005 graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań, from the Intermedia Photography Department directed by Krzysztof J. Baranowski and Stefan Wojnecki. He lives and works in Wrocław, Poland. He formulates his expressions using photography, video and multimedia installations. The area of interest for the artist is time and space, limitations of the viewer s perception, illusion and problems of participations. In works which are evidence of artistic taming of the media he does not stop at purely conceptual cognitive strategies but enriches the discourse by non-intellectual elements such as sensual impressions or intuitive cognition. He connects messages readable for different human senses and by experimenting with the physiology of seeing or hearing; on the one hand aims at fuller, more complete transfer, on the other mischievously or ironically deprives viewers of the possibility to get to know the essence of the work.
