In his photographic works, Tomek Mzyk engages places and architectural concepts that can function as synonyms for failed and unfulfilled political and social utopias. The publication “10 Tafeln / 4 Projektionen” displays motifs from two new series of works Mzyk photographed in the abandoned rooms of a soon to be demolished school building. The school, built in 1974, employed a unique pedagogical concept and stood for a range of contemporary social ideas echoed in its architecture as well. Mzyk, however, does not approach this architectural epoch and its disappearing public buildings from a purely documentary standpoint. Instead, he consciously stages found places in a new light, using targeted interventions to lend rooms and objects additional levels of meaning. These, then, appear in pictorial, sculptural, and other facets of his photographs. This artist's book, developed alongside the creative agency “Studio Parat,” uses a structure that draws primarily from the idea of the board, translating it into a system of folded, printed sheets who se order and combinations can be rearranged to produce ever changing series of images, motifs, and correlations.
