About the Item
Kacper Kowalski began his career as a landscape photographer, far before
the preeminence of drones or Google Earth, strapping himself into a
gyrocopter and exploring his native Poland through the lens of a film camera.
This repeated, almost ritualistic exploration of home became the foundation of
his work. Kowalski observes the macro-evolution of the Polish landscape as it is
progressively shaped and morphed by its inhabitants. Seasons shift rapidly in
riots of color and pattern, humans leave intricate tracks in barren slates of
snowfall, and in his series, “Toxic Beauty,” large-scale industry spills supernatural
plumes of ash and smoke into the atmosphere, producing a painterly tableau
of texture and light. Witnessed from 500 feet above, these instances of time and
change are flattened and compressed into two-dimensional cross-sections like
a microscope’s slide. At once massive and miniature, Kowalski teases out the
universality in the patterns of change, showing the intrinsic link between people
and land.
Kowalski’s most recent series, “Event Horizon,” includes aerial images of bodies of
water in Northern Poland, near his Tricity home. At once violent and tranquil,
ghostly orbs of thawed ice float in an endless abyss, and craggy masses of ice
sheets gnash at the water. Taken from a much higher altitude, these
photographs are not only landscapes, but visual containers for the experience
of flight.
