In Warsaw’s Mokotów district at BÄc Zmiana, you’ll have the opportunity to see photographs depicting fictitious characters, institutions, and approaches... and at ChĹodna 25 you’ll be able to watch the film Not in order of appearance, the crucial summary of the underlying concept of the Photomonth in Krakow Festival – ALIAS!
Mitzi, played by Cathy Collins, from Color Me Blood Red, directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis, 1965
The “heteronym strategy”, i.e. creating a character with a fictitious biography and identity who is creatively active and functions at the same level as real artists, without exposing their own fictitiousness, is the main thrust of this year’s Photomonth in Krakow. The inspiration for this year's Festival curators, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, was Portuguese poet and writer, Fernando Pessoa, who created more than 240 different literary incarnations.
Scraps of Alias. Survay from the Bunkier Sztuki Art Gallery in Krakow
