Extended description

In the project, the author reflects on the very essence of photography. She limits her artistic research to working with the elemental variables that create photography - light, time, light-sensitive material, and apparatus.

Light is both a starting point, an environment, and a tool for photography. Differences in the intensity or absence of light create an instant language of photography.

A series of Polaroid photographs capture an elementary object to the camera - the lens. However, the lens as a subject is not completely visible in the resulting photos.

A semi-translucent circular object and changing lighting conditions refer to an evident phase and repetition of the capture of the same item.

When viewing individual photographs, we always enter the same visual space, but at the same time at a different time, while each of the Polaroid photographs is a single original. The author lets chance come into her photographs precisely by defining it visually.
