Kornelia Dzikowska: Notes on the Passage of Time
In the experience of 鈥渢ime鈥� running out, there is nothing magical or unusual. It is an instant, a mundane moment 鈥� the pain of the present. In theory and practice, this applies, without exception, to each one of us. Exactly this 鈥� seemingly banal 鈥� topic inspired Kornelia Dzikowska and became the starting point of her solo exhibition at the Municipal Gallery bwa in Bydgoszcz.
With a series of digital drawings entitled Notes on the passage of time, created at the turn of 2019 and 2020, the artist introduces the viewer to a 鈥済ame鈥� full of metaphors and understatements. She encourages us to go beyond the schematic framework of interpretation and to face up to the problem of the passage of time. The creation of Dzikowska鈥檚 works, which mutually correlate, was a process where the foundation was Pamela M. Lee鈥檚 publication Chronophobia: on time in the art of the 1960s. Concerning art, Lee, as a pioneer, applies the term 鈥渃hronophobia鈥�. In her work, the author defines the title phobia as a record of almost obsessive anxiety about time and its measure. It assumes that there is a fine line between a phobic obsession with time and an almost perverse fascination with its development .
The year 2020 enhances the experience of mundane everyday life. Positioned as a time of 鈥済reat change鈥� 鈥� considered by many as a turning point, from which we will never again be able to return to the everyday life we know. It is difficult to assess and determine what processes this change entails. However, it is certain that they will be significant and will have an undeniable impact on the area of contemporary art. This moment has become a turning point which significantly influenced the final shape of this exhibition.
