KED Olszewski ''Glitters''
In the project ''Glitters'', Ked Olszewski presents everyday objects in his photographs, such as a concrete mixer or an advertising pillar, in a shiny, stylish glamour setting. Despite the diminutive in the name, his works stand out significantly, exceeding purely decorative function. Through the glittering appearance, Olszewski gives the objects a new dimension, emphasizing their hidden beauty and value.
Olszewski's ''Glitters'' is more than just a play on form and color. The artist changes the perception of everyday objects, giving them a new, positive meaning. His works, full of humor and intelligence, inspire deeper reflection on the reality around us and the role of objects in our lives.
In his photographs, Ked Olszewski demonstrates a unique combination of conceptualism with aesthetic sensibility. 'Glitterchen' not only catches the eye but also encourages a fresh look at everyday use objects, giving them a special significance. In this way, Olszewski's art becomes a platform for reflections about the world around us, showing how ordinary objects can become extraordinary through artistic intervention.
