Maciej Pominkiewicz

I work with the body
as a landscape of decay

Between fragility and resilience.
Between myth and flesh.

Portrait of the Artist

Self-portrait created in 2026. A raw, unfiltered record of time written into the body.

© Maciej Pominkiewicz, 2026

I photograph from the perspective of an internal rupture, redefining the boundaries of somatic presence. My gaze — shaped by over half a century of existence and the lived experience of my own non-normative body — utterly rejects superficial aestheticization.

For me, disability is not a technical barrier. It is a consciously chosen investigative position: a filter through which I deconstruct the intricate relationship between form, matter, and impermanence. Everything that escapes the final frame, the unmanaged thoughts, and the raw residue of this process, is left in the marginalia.

Artistic Practice

The Body as an Archive

I am profoundly interested in the body as a site of memory, trauma, and transformation. Every wrinkle, scar, and limitation constitutes an autonomous layer of visual narrative.

Slow Photography

I reject urgency. My studio and open-air sessions often last for hours, allowing for full synchronization with the medium, the light, and the emotional resonance of the subject.
