Dłubak started working on his Asymmetry series of photographs in 1983 r., two years after beginning his cycle of paintings under the same title. The images fill flat minimalist compositions. The photographic part of the project consists of several sets of images: trees, cardboards, faces, parts of body. It resulted from years of Dłubak`s observations of surfaces which are only seemingly uniform and symmetrical. Asymmetry is also Dłubak`s statement on the incompatibility of the photographic image with reality. According to the artist, photography is always a distortion, an effect of the artist`s creation - it is asymmetrical with the external world.
Selected exhibitions of the series: Asymmetry, Mała Galeria ZPAF-CCA, Warsaw (1988, 1994); Asymmetry, Gallery Polish-American Artists Society (PAAS), New York (1989).
