Description

Ilona Jurgiel’s wistful photographs study the notions of memory and home with intimate detail. Employing a range of techniques, they merge a personal approach with the precision of an archivist to create emotional landscapes in the private space of a home. Rooted in her fascination with the apparently random things that people choose to collect and surround themselves with, this series explores how memories become embedded in things and objects begin to define a person. When possessions become inseparable from the owner they acquire a personality of their own.

Jurgiel concentrates on her grandmother’s house, which allows her to celebrate her origins and Poland’s everyday culture in the space inhabited by a close and beloved relative. However, the identity of the objects’ owner is less important than the facets of personality communicated by the details of the environment she created for herself.

Ilona Jurgiel lives and works in London. She is a professional photographer working on projects in art and documentary photography and pursuing her commercial career as a fashion/portraiture/product photographer. She has graduated from the University of Westminster (BA Honours in Photographic Arts) and recently completed the MA Photographic Studies course there. Her work has been shown internationally; in the UK in galleries such as The Old Truman Brewery, P3, The Polish Cultural Institute (London), and the View from the Top (Nottingham).
