the power of time
A zoom into particulars mechanics.
Rolls Royce engines for powerful turbines of aeroplanes, reweaves an horror vacui in its interpretation difficult to reduce to its original models. At the end forms and colours are the most important values of the images contextures suggested by Małgorzata Basinska in this series of photos made in 2014. The mechanical subject appears to refer to futurist avant-garde, but she seems more to be inspired by the “cubiste” painter Fernand Léger. Naturally it’s a pretext: the artist shows interest to be able to express, in these elements she refers, a kind of solution always inherent art both in the painting and in photography. She is keeping their fundamental value of the structure, the chromatic balance and correspondence, the deepness and a way of perspective, lines and indications which lead inside the composition. Some values that stay indissoluble in art in whatever way they can be delivered, still and priority for ever.

THE BODY SPACE
The photography by Małgorzata Basinska "THE BODY SPACE" was taken in Oslo, strictly speaking in a very chic city district - Akker Brygge. That work is one of a kind and is part of a larger series that shows post-industrial architecture adapted for modern times. Akker Brygge is a completely restored district that is constantly developing. The photograph comes from a newly opened shopping centre. More than 20 million visitors each year pass through Akker Brygge.
In this abstractly unrealistic composition Małgorzata Basińska captured: mirrors, reflections, and space – manifesting itself in vertical divisions giving rhythm to the composition while at the same symbolising traces of human existence full of stunning impressions always experienced in such a special place, which maintains continuity of tradition and adaptation of this particular architecture for the needs of the contemporary vibrant city.
Although this photograph does not reflect post-industrial architecture, it comes from an enormously fascinating district of Oslo, a district that is an indispensable source of inspiration for the artist.
"Being determines consciousness", Marx once said - "THE BODY SPACE" – the space in which we live is constantly changing – but the need for space remains the same. Millions of tourists are looking for new impressions thus expanding their own experience of their own unique space. This is a purely psycho-physical need which is difficult to satisfy if you are curious about the world.
Fotografia autorstwa Małgorzaty Basinskiej "THE BODY SPACE", została wykonana w Oslo, a dokładniej, w bardzo modnej dzielnicy - Akker Brygge. Praca ta jest jedyną w swoim i charakterze i należy do większej serii, która pokazuje architekturę postindustriana zaadaptowana dla wspolczesnosci. Akker Brygge jest dzielnica w pełni odrestaurowana i stale rozwijającą się. Zdjęcie pochodzi z nowo otwartego shopping centrum. Przeszło 20 milionów zwiedzających, rok rocznie przemieszczania się przez Akker Brygge. Małgorzata Basińska uchwycila w tej tak abstrakcyjnie odrealnionej kompozycji: odbicia, refleksy, przestrzen- sprowadzona do podziałów wertykalnych, nadających kompozycji rytm a jednocześnie symbolizujacej ślady ludzkiego istnienia, pełnego zaskakujących wrażeń, stale doświadczonych w tym tak szczególnym miejscu - gdzie została utrzymana ciągłość tradycji i adaptacji tejze architektury do potrzeb dzisiejszego, życiem tętniącego miasta. Chociaż, to fotografia nie odzwierciedla architektury postindustrialnej- to pochodzi ona z niesłychanie fascynującej dzielnicy Oslo, dzielnicy, która jest nieodłącznym źródłem inspiracji artystki. "Byt określa swiadomosc" - powiedział kiedyś Marks- "THE BODY SPACE" - przestrzeń w której przyszło nam żyć nieustannie się zmienia- ale potrzeba przestrzeni jest ciągle ta sama. Miliony turystów poszukuje nowych wrażeń, i w ten sposób poszerza swoje własne doświadczenie własnej unikalnej przestrzeni. Jest to czysto fizyczno- psychiczną potrzeba - która trudno zaspokoic- jeśli jest się ciekawym świata.
