Curator Paweł Bąkowski

Born in 1946, photographer Lucjan Demidowski is associated with Polish conceptualism and the Lublin photographic community. His work has been influenced by the reflections and works of two photographers and theoreticians: Zbigniew Dłubak and Jerzy Lewczyński. Piotr Zugaj is a Poznań-based artist and art historian, a graduate of the Photography Department at the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of Arts in Poznań. He has shown his work in solo and group exhibitions at, among others, the Incheon Asia Maritime Media Festival in South Korea, the Chiang Mai Photo Festival in Thailand, the Athens Photo Festival in Greece or the Riga Photography Biennial in Latvia.

The starting point for the exhibition 'Technology abhors ambition' is an interview conducted by Zugaj with Demidowski in 2020, which will also become part of the exhibition's accompanying publication. The works of the two artists presented in the exhibition look into each other, at times the question of their authorship is lost and distracted, it is the image that counts. This approach to the Demidowski-Zugaj relationship introduces a rift in the pupil-master relationship, which becomes a space for mutual inspiration.
