Metaphysics describes what is behind physics. A term that has arisen rather accidentally. A term that can also describe our humanity. Postmodernism has reconstructed metaphysics. But at the same time, it does not want to abolish metaphysics. On the contrary, postmodernism has strengthened metaphysical reflections and discourses. Mariusz Olszewski shows objects in his photographs. And the metaphysics behind the objects. A method reminiscent of Husserl, but even more so in a poetic way of Graham Harman. Perhaps not of the quadruple object. But of the object itself.
We are pleased to show an excerpt from his Metafizyczna Portfolio by Mariusz Olszewski here. We have already shown some of the works here, here, and here.
