Marek Piasecki. A Friday Person

Marek Piasecki was born on a Saturday, February 23, 1935, yet his work seems to inhabit its own unique space-time. The Galerie Le Minotaure is honoring this major figure of Polish avant-garde, whose work oscillates between experimental photography and sculptures made from found objects. An artist impossible to classify, he marked the history of art with his ability to transform the commonplace into a mysterious visual poetry. His heliographs and fragile compositions testify to an extraordinary sensitivity, capturing the invisible with almost surgical precision. It is a rare opportunity to observe the trajectory of a creator who was able to preserve his total freedom in the face of the conventions of his time. This presentation allows us to explore the intimacy of a master of imagery within the confidential setting of a historic gallery in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
