Zofia Rydet documentary screening at CFCP
This year the Centre for Creative Practices (CFCP) celebrate the 100th birthday of renowned Polish photographer Zofia Rydet. The Endlessly Distant Roads is an award winning documentary film about the artist directed by Rydet’s friend Andrzej Rozycki a well known polish artist, film director and an art theoretician. Made with sensibility and artistic creativity, the film shows, in the simple and pure form, the enormous output of Zofia Rydet. Her own commentary lends an additional value to this film. Following the screening there will be a talk by curator Karol Jozwiak. In an exploration of Zofia Rydet’s creative work Jozwiak examines a photographer’s attempt to reconcile documentary realism and artistic vision. By building up on the tension linking the two most important stages of her artistic work, two great realisms – the surrealism of photo-montages and pure realism of the ‘Sociological Record’ – demonstrates the thematic unity which dominates over the diversity of formal choices.
