This work comes from the thirteenth of the fifteen series making up The World of Feelings and Imagination. Rich in visual poetry, the collection consists of several dozen photomontages addressing the complexity of human life and a full range of human emotions. Rydet`s aim was to evoke strong feelings in the audience so that they can refer to their inner selves and their own experience.
The works have been widely exhibited and published, including: Zofia Rydet. Photographs, National Museum, Wrocław (2000); Zofia Rydet. The Arc of Realism, PhotoIreland Festival, Centre for Creative Practices, Dublin, Ireland (2011); Necessary Complement, Silesian Museum in Katowice (2012); Zofia Rydet. Inventorying the Image of Man, Photomonth, Sofia, Bulgaria (2012).
