Invisible Maps
Meeting on the latest book by Andrzej Kramarz

"Let us emphasize: while watching these photographs we have no prior knowledge thereof, apart from the fact that the area to which they refer (as the author kindly confessed) covers 0.17 hectare" – reads the text accompanying the latest publication by Andrzej Kramarz.

The meeting, focused on the photographic publication entitled: “Invisible Maps”, will be an exceptional occasion to meet its author – Andrzej Kramarz and Dariusz Czaja – author of the text which accompanies the book.

This visually intense publication is full of signs, traces and symbols, without distinct clues of how to read them. "(…) the photographs stubbornly guard access thereto and do not permit easy and peaceful reading. They stir up the spinning of one’s own narratives and the construction of one’s own continuations. We are trying, in a number of ways (sometimes forcibly), to make the images coherent, to make the rebuses speak to us. So we construct our own stories, inside of which the visible starts to transform into a reasonable message (or so it seems to us)" – Czaja wrote in his documentary. Perhaps the meeting will be one of the very few occasions when the artist will tell the story behind the photographs.

Meeting organized in cooperation with Czytelnia Sztuki | Muzeum w Gliwicach – publisher of “Invisible Maps”.
