Somnambulists, Lunatics, and Female-Mannequins

Summary/Abstract: The same figure, shown from different three sides. A beam of light is dividing dark and light areas in the picture. A woman, sitting in the middle, looks as if she pretended to be absent from the scene. Patricia Orzechowska shows surrealist pictures. She concentrates on showing phantoms of real people, and different parts of the human body. Her photographs could have been used by such artists as Bunuel and Man Ray. Orzechowska refers to dream-like situations. Her figures are in constant movement. Her pictures are dynamic. The ‘Nos duo’ series and earlier ‘Phantoms’ series contribute to our re-thinking photographic theories. We are surprised by the technique she uses, and by the atmosphere in her pictures.
