Name of photographic works on construction site

The writer Haruki Murakami once said: "Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of life." People are born, and everyone is full of curiosity and fear about the world after death. In ancient times, people thought that after death, the soul would leave the body and go to heaven to do good deeds and enjoy a happy life. The perpetrators go to hell and accept the punishment of purgatory. There was a painter in Poland who devoted his life to painting the world after death. What does he write about heaven? He claimed to have been to Elysium, and he only painted hell all his life, zooming in 10 times to see what the skeleton contained.

Ziswaw Backsin was born in Poland on 1929. He was born just in time for the Second World War, so he spent his childhood in the war. Chivu's childhood was full of traces of war, including collapsed houses, destroyed buildings, helpless people, and even mass graves and extremely cruel gas chambers. This growing environment laid the foundation for Ziswaw's later painting style.

At first, Ziswaw didn't want to paint at all, so he studied architecture in college. After graduation, he found a job related to his major and worked as a supervisor in a construction site. However, the work on the construction site was boring, and Ziswaw began to think about what he really liked. Slowly, he became interested in photography, painting and sculpture. Simple sculptures are often made of cement and metal wires on the construction site.

Soon after, Ziswaw resigned from the construction site and bought a camera to ponder photography. His photography style is particularly strange. There will be some beautiful mountains, green water, blue sky and white clouds in other people's cameras, but the photos in his cameras are all bland, and they will deliberately reflect various desolate scenery such as wrinkles and broken bark on people's faces with the help of the effect of light.

From 65438 to 0958, Ziswaw's photographic works were praised by the art world, but he didn't go too far on this road. He also painted while taking pictures. Chisworth's first painting that caught the world's attention was called Hell and Back. This is because Ziswaw had a serious car accident and was in a coma for several months before he created this painting. Just when everyone thought he would become a vegetable, Ziswaw slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look for a brush and a drawing board. Then he drew a very strange picture. The scene in the painting is desolate and there are wasteland everywhere. Many dilapidated buildings stand on the wasteland, and even the sky is pale yellow. Ziswaw said that he had been to hell when he was in a coma, and that was the world he saw when he was in a coma.

People don't know whether it is true or not, and there is no way to verify it, but they are all amazed. From then on, Ziswaw began to focus on painting. He wants to present the world he saw when he was in a coma. Many people feel creepy when they see his paintings because they are full of human bones and desolate scenes. But Ziswaw doesn't think so. He felt that his painting had been misinterpreted by the world. In fact, there are many humorous and optimistic elements in his paintings.

Chisworth once said, "What I fear most is not the nothingness of death, but the pain caused by death." But he has been experiencing what he is afraid of. 1998, Ziswaw's wife died, and the next year, his only son committed suicide in the house where he lived alone. All the pain of losing loved ones was borne by Ziswa alone. In 2005, Chisworth was murdered at home by the son of a painter's friend. He was stabbed 17 before he died, and suffered the pain of death again.

So, has Chisworth been to hell? He said yes, but no one fully believed it. Only in one of his paintings, the skull in the painting will play a kind of suona, which is a special musical instrument for China's wedding. However, Ziswaw has never been to China in his life, and he has never understood the culture of China. Is the suona in that painting a coincidence or an inspiration? No one can give a clear answer to all this.
