Curatorial context
The 'AKTA SZTUKI' exhibition, organized by the Museum of Sport and Tourism in Warsaw, presents a unique artistic project by Ewa Bilan-Stoch. This exhibition features fourteen photographs of male nudes, with seven top Polish ski jumpers serving as the models: Kamil Stoch, Dawid Kubacki, Stefan Hula, Maciej Kot, Krzysztof Miętus, Jan Ziobro, and Łukasz Rutkowski.
The artistic concept is presented in two styles. The first seven photographs are described as mysterious, with faces formed by the interplay of muscles and light on the athletes' backs, reflecting the intensity of their daily training. The subsequent seven images are abstract, aiming to capture the dynamic human body in a monumental, sculptural form. The exhibition, which had its grand opening on April 22nd, transforms these 'gladiators of winter' into extraordinary models, adding significant artistic value to the works.
