PHOTOGRAPHER: Justyna Mielnikiewicz - Resident in Georgia

by Ralph Hälbig

Unmistakable not only for me is Justyna Mielnikiewicz an interesting photographer. Anymore she get an award in the catagory of world press photos. I guess she is emotional and rational in her amazing work. In the multi-layered world of the far reaching east euopean areas and central asia is just that her high capacity.
I met Justyna Mielnikiewicz last year short after the war in Tbilisi at the lunchtime. Unfortunatly I don't know her really but sometimes during I made internet researches for my blog I could see her photos about the caucasian life from her own point of view. Last September I could descovered her interesting physiognomy in a cafe in Tbilisi.
I think her photos are very similair to her character. All series of her work are not only a simple documentation of incidents. Justyna Mielnikiewicz has got a high education. Maybe this is also the reason that her photos are severe but just. More or less she is brave and directly. A big advantage is her intelligent cultural view of the immediate situation. She can see at least in both or more directions. I think she can very good realise a complex situation in a work like to capture different aspects like normal life, politics, strange moments for a very good balance in a frame. She is closed to the inhabitants of a country and knows the reasons of the life situations in different nationalities. For example there are a west and east view in the same moment. Furthermore she is also looking for stories with problems between nationalities. Or she can feel the human being in a concret situation in the context of a ambivalent real situation. Moreover is the interesting aspect in her work the skeptical experience. She is taking almost artifical photos with a grain of salt and otherwise she is looking for the archaeological aspect in a situation. In certain respects her work is multiplexing a scientifical, historical and aesthetical photography. This is a very seldom in the journalistic world of mass-medias today.
I mean her sight is a result of her biography. She was born in the communist times of Poland and has experiences in changing of situations and several positions. In the first contact she hasn't probems with complex situations and can stay in action in a hard environment. Eventual she can feel with the people. I hold Justyna Mielnikiewiczs work in high esteem.

PHOTOGALLERY: Gyumri. Works by Arman Tadevosyan.



I like your way of putting a whole image together out of fragments. It seems to establish a relation to how we tend to experience our world, always putting new pieces and fragments together, shaping our very personal way to look at things. In a way it also shows how different images / fragments we are confronted with. I also like the simplicity of the whole thing. The way, the single images have their own set of lighting conditions, and sometimes a perspective which slightly differ from the perspective of the other fragments. I like it especially as this is actually confronting the smooth, technically perfected production of contemporary digital images which we are getting used to through the possibilities of technical perfection.

I have the impression; you are seeking this perfection on another level. I don't know but I also have the impression; you are working more on the resulting outline of each set of fragments. In a way this has an amateuristic effect - you know like the photos of anybody who was just doing some snapshots passing by - but I like this affect it in the combination with your apparent intuitive consciousness choosing motives, standpoints and outline. In the fragments of "a bridge and a seemingly improvised housing area" You seem to have a strong content, contrasting the space of flow( traffic and public advertisement) with the space of place (were people live in the homes, shaping the lives at this place, day for day as the traffic is passing by).

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 !!!

I wish you all the best and the right balance for the coming year 2009! The main thing is to be allright in a strange and confusing world. This mirror down, the magic illusion of Carmen, should remember you that also in the coming year we have to find our own way between desire and obligation. Every time we are thinking we have a choose and in the same moment our heart can destroy our rational illusion ;-) ... Be careful and enjouy the life!

PHOTOGALLERY: Armenia. Works by Mari Minasyan.

Mari Minasyan's great photography from Armenia.

There is no home unless we find it in ourselves.
I am a self-seeker, as everybody else. I do search. I do experiment. And I dream…
Life is an experiment. Life is a dream.
Photography is a mirror of my reality, my own reflection. Whatever I shoot that is all about me. That is all about you as well, because I cannot exist without you. You give the freedom to see myself in a new and unexpected way, to know who I am. You inspire me.
That is all about the theatre and the illusion of the existence.
Moment. There is something very magical in it. One moment-one life. That is what I create - visual diaries of special moments that tell stories.
