Doświadczenie zamieszkiwania bez zadomowienia. Na przykładzie twórczości Julii Hartwig

Abstract

While analyzing the relationship between experience and topography in the works of Julia Hartwig, we can see in the pictures of particular places a record of experience, its uniqueness, that supports the vision of the world in a fragmentary way, emphasizes the belief that only subjectivised perspective of perception of the reality is possible, its concretization in thoughts, emotions, observations. The characteristics, distinguishing two formulas of realization of the idea of residence without settling in, introduces a definition of a current place of residence as “visit” and “stop”. The first formula is specified by such features of experience as a moment of stopping, cogitation, aesthetizing reception, admiration due to a townscape and the natural world, respect for cultural objects; while, in the second case an essential function play: temporariness, awareness of foreignness, exoticism, the need to develop a new way of perception of the surrounding reality, focus on diversity, poetic concretization of “daily calendars”, harmonious combination of commonness and metaphysical meditation, significant distance from a classical way of introducing places as distinguished by topographical arrangement. These features emphasize that various topographies specify a record of individual experience, which accentuates a narrowed and contextually conditioned perception of the external world.
