Garden

Garden – François Cheval writes in an essay accompanying the book: “In this strange “garden”, the fantastic and surrealist component makes this photographic narrative a tragi-comedy of the body. Photography has the capacity to model the flesh, to make it a Dionysian incident. To the agitation of the real world, the medium opposes a symbolic, grotesque violence, exploring new and surprising forms. Do Marta Zgierska and Mateusz Sarełło hope that a happy ending can emerge from this monstrous collage, that a bright future can be reconstructed? And how can the details of a body, which is experienced in everyday life, as it is experienced in pleasure, be transformed into a founding event, above the ruins of past morbidity? ”
