Piotr Iwicki - Lost Spaces

by Kunstverein Offenburg-Mittelbaden (Editor), Hans-Joachim Müller (Text)

There is definitely something eerie about an encounter with Piotr Iwicki’s Lost Spaces. The artist handles the work’s unwieldy dimensions as if he were effortlessly shifting the scenery elements on a stage. The boldly conceived spaces are never suggestive of effort or exertion. But then conceived is perhaps not the right term, for the astonishing photographic images seem to lack a certain strategy. In contrast to a film or stage director, Iwicki works without a script. He makes discoveries, relies upon sudden inspiration and draws upon experience.
