An MA graduate of the Royal College of Art, Joanna Piotrowska recently won the Mack First Book Award for her photo project FROWST. Now, the Polish photographer is participating in an exhibition in London’s Hayward Gallery.
What’s Love
Content
What’s Love Got to Do with It is a new exhibition opened on July 23 and will run until September 14 in the Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery Project Space. It presents works from Joanna Piotrowska, Anna Barham, William Cobbing, Sharon Hayes and Ilona Sagar. The works examine the verbal and visual languages of love and the many ways that these languages are influenced by social and cultural codes.
Heavily influenced by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, FROWST is a series showing subjects posed in a sculpture-like manner with movements and gestures borrowed from Hellinger’s therapeutic method. Her black-and-white images, intentionally nostalgic for lost moments of happiness, are shrewd observations of the tensions that pervade every family dynamic.
