Jolanta Dolewska
Jolanta Dolewska works with photography, projections, clay and objects. Her artistic practice is driven by concerns about power struggle of human beings in relation to their physical and political existence. Dolewska has been influenced by writings of Foucault, Merleau-Ponty, and Agamben, and their theories of regime of truth, the primacy of perception and bare life.
