Dawid Furkot, Self-tanning cream

Dawid Furkot

We glorify a fragment – then one can see more clearly – willing to describe again the situation in which we have found ourselves. A set of works of irregularly increasing length, were created out of an overwhelming need for self-reference. Following the utopian idea of the West – to see oneself.

A substance for covering human body to lend it charm and splendour. Our way of deceiving the sun, another one in the series of various tricks performed by a human to focus, even more solely, on themselves. A ray of sunlight permanently located in the body, even though deprived of the warmth and power of its prototype, still available regardless of the season.

For a second or two we gain a sense of utter fulfilment; instead of true happiness with reaching a new goal, monotony of beauty treatments in the entirety of the cares of the day. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to call ourselves as a witness, with the help of photography which we have credulously entrusted our existence to.

We glorify a fragment – then one can see more clearly – willing to describe again the situation in which we have found ourselves. A set of works of irregularly increasing length, were created out of an overwhelming need for self-reference. Following the utopian idea of the West – to see oneself.
