Bo and Cat Creative Tandem is a duo of two photographers: Bo Jaroszek and Katarzyna Pluszynska, both residing in Bielsko-Biała in southern Poland. The Tandem was born in 2019 out of a joint creative project and as a natural consequence of many years of photographic cooperation and experiments as teacher and student. Similar way of perceiving the world, with its, often comical, aspects creates a common axis for this artistic duet.
Bo:
His works contest the traditional understanding of the exhibition, adopting hybrid forms, exploring the boundaries, allowing various disciplines of creative activity to permeate - visual arts, science, music, poetry, performance.
He explores the tools of art trying to use them differently from their original purpose. He doesn't know the possible effects of these activities, but he closely observes them, and includes those he deems noteworthy into his creative arsenal.
The results are transdisciplinary structures created for the very process of creation, not for the result of a measurable, more or less ready, closed "piece of art". They are emotions, mental states that do not comment on any "here and now", but are immersed in it and penetrate both the creator and the spectator. The resulting physical artifacts, if the author deems them ripe for publication, begin their own, often independent from the context of its creation, life.
Cat:
Spanish and English translator, fascinated by animals, languages, travels; attracted to photography since always.
