28歲的波蘭攝影師Marta Zgierska作品Post，用一系列的靜物照片，探討創傷性事件。部分靈感來自Marta自己的是一場重大車禍經歷的影響。Marta對記憶和創傷研究很感興趣，總是在拍照前研究主題.。在生活中經歷的情況是Marta工作的基礎。 Post是一個非常個人的項目，基於Marta自己的生活，關於創傷，神經症和恐懼。它也是關於完美主義和它如何影響Marta的思想和存在：它描述了一切隱藏在完美的外觀。

In 2013, I survived a serious car accident. I was close to death, and reality—one that I had been adapting to with difficulty—slipped through my fingers. This misfortune brought about another: surgeries, months of physical limitations, a breakup, and the return and aggravation of anxiety neurosis.

Not long before the accident, I had found in my family home a teacher』s descriptive feedback from the time I was a seven-year-old, exemplary student. I am still one in my adult life. However, despite the opinion of others, my limitations, shame and anxiety are still teeming inside me. I started taking the first photographs as a way of incantation of fear in an aesthetic image. The accident brought my work to a halt. My mind was filled with fragmentary memories, and sharp, detached details. My own physicality and pain became a source of images that felt more and more substantial and bodily as time passed.

「Post」 is a project about trauma, frozen in dead greyness, silence and tension. Everyone can find their own punctures here—exhausting dreams, fears, obsessions. An individual way of discovering a twin traumatic memory in another person, 「Post」 is an attempt at intimate contact which closes the past non-experience in the present.
