The Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle presents the first such large-scale cross-sectional exhibition of Polish photography in many years. Its intention is to show the most intriguing contemporary ways of photographic imagery in art. Forty-six artists have been invited to participate. Among them are figures well-known and respected on the national and international art scene, such as Aneta Grzeszykowska, Rafał Milach, Joanna Piotrowska or Karol Radziszewski, but a number of them are artists just beginning their careers.

Prepared by Kamila Bondar and Łukasz Rusznica, the exhibition is a multi-threaded story, divided into chapters, in which the centre is man, human affairs, emotions and relations. The title of the exhibition, Oczy moje zwodzą pszczoły (My Eyes Deceive the Bees), points to the fantastic dimension of photographic images, which, freed from their purely documentary function, spin their own stories, proposing various, also very personal, interpretations of reality.

"We are not neutral in our choices, we are as vulnerable and susceptible to the actions of the image as any other person," declare the curators of the show. - Our role was to surrender to the pleasure of looking and we invite the audience to do the same."

The photographs presented in the exhibition often take on materially and spatially unobvious forms and enter into a relationship with sculpture and painting. A separate space, arranged in the form of a chill-out area, has been dedicated to the photographic books, an extensive selection of which is available for free viewing. In turn, an additional voice accompanying the photographs is an exhibition guide composed of statements by the authors, which provide an insight into the context in which their works were created.
