“Seeing” and “view” are inextricably linked concepts – one leads to the other, creating a space where personal experience meets reflection on the world around us. In doing so, it is worth noting the subtle difference between “looking” and “seeing.” Looking is the simple act of directing one’s gaze, while seeing involves a deeper understanding and perception of what lies beneath the surface of things. A view is more than a landscape – it is a moment of pause, a perspective, and sometimes an emotion that is born in the gaze.It is precisely this closeness and variety of views of the world that we want to present in the exhibition “The view is beautiful”, presenting a cross-section of the work of members of the Warsaw District of the Association of Polish Artists Photographers.
The exhibition aims to show the diversity in the work of our female artists, the wealth of photographic techniques and different aesthetic sensibilities. At the same time, it allows us to look at the world from many perspectives – subtle, inspiring and making us reflect on the beauty and complexity of everyday life. The presented frames, starting from realism, become a metaphor, creating a space for artistic reflection.
The exhibition of members of the OW ZPAF in this formula is a kind of experiment – both substantive and formal. Its strength, however, is that it treats the collective of female photographers, photographers, photographers – artists – as a community and a community in which each artist has the right to talk about what moves him and what is important to him. Out of these diverse perspectives is born an informed view of the world – a view that we feel, despite everything, is beautiful.
