More information
"I Merit finns Gott och
Blandat, barndom och utplåning, oskuld och arsenik; en insikt om alltings
förgänglighet.
Godis, små oansenliga, formgjutna bitar - röda, orange, gröna och gula - har förstorats
upp och förvandlats till monumentala kroppar, vars fel och brister antar oroande
proportioner. Inte sällan befinner de sig på gränsen mellan abstrakt och figurativt, form
och formlöshet, liksom anfrätta av någon osynligt verkande kraft. Det är just deras brist
på perfektion, deras defekter, som attraherar blicken, men som ibland även gör dem
direkt hotfulla. Vore de felfria skulle de inte, misstänker jag, arrestera vårt seende som
de gör."
Lars O Ericsson

Artist
Dawid is one of Sweden’s most notorious photographers, and was a pioneer in conceptual photography. He had his breakthrough in 1983 with the exhibition “Rost” at the Fotografiska Museum. Dawid pushes the boundaries to what is considered photography, At first glance, his images possess strong aesthetic values, but upon closer inspection, the depicted objects, which appear in all their everyday ordinariness, seem to open up anew. The images undergo a kind of metamorphosis and acquire meanings beyond the merely denoted.
