Nothing in the Middle
Aleksandra Loska experiments not only
with the photographic medium, but also
with the full complexity of the process of
human perception. Nothing in the Middle
does not tell a story, arrange events into a
narrative, or create a metaphor for reality.
Rather, the essence of each image is
determined by both its form-built from
surfaces, light, and a scale of colours
restricted to shades of grey-and the actual
scenographic model, constructed out of
cardboard, glass, and paper.The works of
young contemporary Polish photographers
rarely focus on abstraction and formal
experiments. By building an abstract,
analogue space, Aleksandra Loska
intelligently undermines the primacy of the
virtual world, and its digital tools and
effects. One is tempted to say that the
cycle Nothing in the Middle cleverly leads
the viewer by the nose, while also offering
beautiful form, where echoes of
modernism, minimalism, and
contemporary architecture resound.
