There is thus no better leaven for drama than blood. This is clearly visible in two series of photographs, titled Life Is Beautiful<\/em> and Algorithm<\/em> (2002), where young, budding flowers intertwine with images of an operating room, and the growth of a carmine flower bud is contrasted with the stitching up of a wound. Although the processes illustrated are reversed in time and seem to contradict one another in terms of aesthetics, the dramaturgy constructed by the artist in both cases is essentially identical.
\n\nOne can thus assume that before Burska turned to literary drama, she first thoroughly examined its structure, its composition, and tested the possibilities of its use, if not deconstruction. She forced her imagination to engage itself in the reconstruction of events, she created sequences of image-events, image-traces and image-actions in order to observe the development of the plot and reveal narrative structures. Finally, she studied the emplotment process itself, building a butterfly house in Bytom\u2019s Kronika gallery.<\/p>\n

In her series of photographs Vazante<\/em>, Marmur i woda<\/em> (Marble and Water<\/em>), Ksi\u0105\u017cka<\/em> (Book<\/em>), Deszcz<\/em> (Rain<\/em>), Odwil\u017c<\/em> (The Thaw<\/em>), Droga<\/em> (The Road<\/em>), form is of crucial importance. First of all, a single work of art consists of several photographs arranged into a geometric grid. A rectangle made of smaller rectangles. The composition edges on mathematical perfection; it has a hint of obsession, just as obsessive is our addiction to beauty and its influence.
\n\nOn the one hand, the structures seem to have been inspired by the tradition of composition based on abstract geometric forms in painting, as well as by modernist design \u2013 represented by Malevich, Mondrian, Van Doesburg, and, in Poland, Sta\u017cewski. In the case of the red and white colour combination, even the colour range remains as minimalistic as in early modernist works. On the other hand, Burska\u2019s works are influenced by the use of photography in conceptual art and its analytical perception of the visual medium. The conceptualists employed a scientific approach to film and photography, examining the characteristic features of these image-recording systems. This was a prevalent trend in Polish art of the 1970s. Conceptualists drew abundantly from documentary or scientific photography as they explored areas not normally considered part of the domain of art.<\/p>\n

Similar inspiration can be noticed in Bogna Burska\u2019s photographs, which, on a certain level, reveal a scientific or utilitarian character. Some of them show a close relation to botanical, meteorological and medical photography \u2013 as in the case of views of the sky and flowers in \u017bycie jest pi\u0119kne<\/em> (Life is Beautiful<\/em>), blood and wounds in Tatua\u017c<\/em> (Tattoo<\/em>), Ornamenty<\/em> (Ornaments<\/em>), Algorytm<\/em> (Algorithm<\/em>), Historia jednej mi\u0142o\u015bci<\/em> (A Love Story<\/em>), Detale<\/em> (Details<\/em>). The associations are strengthened by their clarity, coldness, rigid structural organization, repetitiveness and appearance of objectivism.
\n\nIt seems that these ordered compositions of photographs might be approached from the point of view of Immanuel Kant\u2019s Enlightenment aesthetics, according to which the beauty of an object and of experience should be objective and based on disinterested examination. The receivers are neutral and separated from the aesthetic object. Their objectivism enables them to experience the beauty of the work. The geometrical order of Bogna Burska\u2019s works widens the distance so that this kind of neutral perception, being a purely optical experience, is almost forced upon the viewers. Such neutral perception ends where poetry and decoration start to emanate from the artist\u2019s photographs. It is the moment when the conceptual examination of a medium is transformed into a study of beauty. Not only is Bogna Burska\u2019s art meant to study beauty, but also to provide it.<\/p>\n
