gelatin silver print, 41 × 35.7 cm (45.3 × 39 cm),
signed "SRumiak", dated, titled and edition on the reverse
edition: 18/25
This work comes from a series of highly precise handmade photomontages reproduced in Rumiak’s Love Book, which has become very popular, especially in the Far East. Most of the works strike with a dissonance between the brutal physical mutilations of the photographed women and the serenity and satisfaction they emanate.
Publications: Love Book (Frodo, 2003), singled out in the anthology 246 Loaded Photography Books: The Edge of Photography (Tokyo, 2005). Rumiak is the only artist to whom a whole chapter is dedicated in the book.
His work has been widely shown at individual exhibitions in Poland and abroad.
