Grabowsky’s practice opposes traditional notions of photography as a tool to document reality. To do this he draws upon techniques derived from the improvisational practices of the 1920s Dadaists and the Surrealists’ foray into the unconscious and imagined realm. Grabowsky utilises the film negative in unconventional ways. Instead of using a camera to create an image, Grabowsky scratches, paints and engraves into the surface of the film negative to form an image, thus challenging the viewer’s perception and understanding of their relationship to visual cues and the production of images. These images of the psyche represent a projection of Grabowsky’s subconsciousness, depicted as a ‘chaotic’, parallel time and space.

Robert Hughes: “It’s not hard to see the erection of the Eiffel Tower as the beginning of theModern Age and the death of the twin towers as its terrible end”


‘The Image’ was captured in Milan, Italy (2018) using 120 film and printed in Düsseldorf, Germany. Due to a collision within the frame of the camera lens, a mutation occurred, birthing a fictional, alternate reality viewed through the looking glass. All aspects of The Image, from its title, through to its tremendous scale, suggest an exaggeration, alluding to the anxiety of photography.
