Description

The documentary *In the Tall Grass* shows the footprints that human nature leaves behind in its habitat. The images serve as a snapshot of our collective emotional state. Lies, loneliness and AI are seen as part of the human genetic makeup and celebrated in an absurd manner. The viewer is meant to see a fractured, divided, isolated world whose inhabitants are in a state of emotional decay. The tall grass, as the central theme of this series, embodies nature and home, which humans adapt to their own whims, deforming it beyond recognition or dissolving into it.

Nico Waldemar Dabek

Through the camera’s viewfinder, I explore everyday, mostly urban spaces and often come across scenes that evoke a sense of isolation and alienation. These emotions play a part in my ongoing exploration of my own life story, which has been ongoing since 2022. Likewise, the conservative values of my parents, who grew up under the Warsaw Pact, continue to shape my personal place in society to this day. I attempt to explore this tension between progressiveness and traditional values in my art.

Current project – Vulnerability and Abstraction (12 black-and-white photographs on Photo-Rag paper)

This photo series explores the invisible mechanisms of capitalist power structures in modern school architecture: Twelve carefully composed black-and-white images combine architectural details from three school buildings to form a fictional learning space, in which the play of light and austere geometries create a sense of surveillance and control. In this way, the series invites us to perceive architectural structures not only as functional but also as ideological spaces, and to question their hidden power dynamics
