The second Wieden + Kennedy London stairwell exhibition was put on display this morning.

  
'Allegories & Macabresques' is the dark, unsettling vision of young Polish photographer and quantum physicist Andrzej Dragan. These portraits, including the one above of director David Lynch holding a hen, were conceived around the Portuguese proverb, ' Those who see faces do not see hearts'. When confronted with these images it is uncertain exactly how they relate to their supposed point of conception. Is Dragan revealing the true essence of his subjects, or creating grotesque caricatures? Are the subjects complicit and in control or ignorant of the way in which they are being presented to the world? Have they designed their personae, masquerading for the purposes of the ‘image’, or are they ‘true’ representations of characters from the darker side of humanity? Dragen doesn’t feel the need to answer these questions and we are left wondering who and what we are looking at.

Hmmm… This exhibition has been touring galleries in Europe and it’s a privilege for us to have Andrzej display his work on our back stairs.
