In her review of the exhibition Gesticulations. Szymon Rogiński and Zbigniew Dłubak (Fundacja Archeologia Fotografii, Warsaw, 2012) for dwutygodnik.com, Lidia Pańków suggests that in Gesticulations the act of photographing ceases to serve the purpose of creating an artistic fiction. She explains her theory as follows: "In line with the postulates of the philosophy of language, the artist investigates the relations between the sign and reality. The abstract series of formally uniform photographs of the body are not narrative in nature. Their purpose is to force viewers to revise their rules of perception. A closer examination of the gesture sequences is intended to reveal the mechanisms of perception, expose the assumptions that underlie our insight."
The work has been widely printed and exhibited.
