With STATUES, stills and food photographer Maciek Miloch presents a personal project in which he transforms everyday metal objects into abstract design sculptures. Watches, a can, a pair of glasses or a drawing compass appear reduced, desaturated and arranged in carefully composed setups.
The objects lose their original function and become quiet, almost monumental forms. Through precise lighting, clean lines and a highly controlled visual architecture, Miloch creates a series in which materiality and structure take center stage. The desaturation enhances the sculptural quality of the pieces, drawing attention to surface, contour and form. Final retouching was done by Holubowicz Postproduction.
Miloch’s background as an art director is clearly present: his visual language is built on the interplay of geometry, texture and a refined graphic sensibility – an approach he describes as his “recipe for creating memorable visual statements.”
STATUES demonstrates how pure and focused still life can become when design, photography and conceptual reduction work seamlessly together.
