Jana Ilková: Diary. Perceptions/Affects
Exhibition by a teacher from the Department of Photography and New Media
Temporary Cultural Space, Rovniankova 5 Bratislava
Curator: Eduard Kudláč
The perception of photography is a process in which the visual record meets memory, experience and cultural framework; a space where decisions are made about what we consider significant, beautiful or disturbing. Visual reading, however, is also the result of preconscious, prelinguistic, affect-saturated perception. It is not formed by separate phases, but by overlapping processes between what destabilizes perception and what attempts to structure this intensity. Jana Ilková does not create the photographic image as a zone of meaning, but as a field of intensities that are intended to stimulate the viewer's perception. Reading the image is thus a continuation of the author's (perceptual/affective) gesture and not its interpretation.
