Artist statement
The Kingdom takes its inspiration from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the "Bardo Thodol". Its main theme is the duality faced by man since his creation, expressed in terms of a struggle between light and darkness and free will. The breath-taking quality of these works was followed by equally striking series in which Janiak depicted the normally invisible forces which shape and alter reality. This constituted both a personal quest and a game for this artist driven by the desire to look beyond surface appearances.
Technical note: This serie has been created without any special effects or digital retouching, but using techniques of analog photography, namely double exposure, superimposition and photomontage.
