For a while now I have been quietly moving between the haunting worlds of Polish photographer Laura Makabresku. Her beautiful blog and Tumblr provide seamless, dreamlike journeys….journeys which I am never eager to abandon.
My photographies are like screenshots from beautiful but cruel fairy tales. Their narrations are not straight. Images that appear are more like feelings that come during a lecture of an old folk-based story – full of witchcrafts and retributions. The structure of my works is similar to the structure of a dream where natural tendencies of collecting and organizing impulses and motivations coincide with irrational clashes of objects and feelings. Isolation and wounds are closed into patterns, uneasy and artificial orders – visual spells created in order to divide beastillness from humanity and dreams from horror. – Laura Makabresku
