Biography
[edit]His artistic education started with the actor’s studies at School on Wheels Derevo Theater, Germany/Netherlands (1997-1998). After graduating Artistic Photography Study in Gdańsk (1999-2000) Roginski started his professional career at Department of Photography at National Museum in Gdańsk (1999-2000) and at Gazeta Wyborcza photographic studio (2000-2004). He was twice (2010 and 2013) granted a scholarship of the Minister of Culture, and he teaches at Academy of Photography, in Warsaw (2012-2013). [citation needed]
He took part in several group shows in reputed art institutions in Poland and abroad, at Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto (MART) Italy (2014); BOZAR, Brussels (2012); CCA Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw (2008) and had a solo exhibition, the last one at Aleksander Bruno Gallery, Warsaw (2014). Roginski made a name for himself with his UFO project, a series of staged shots developed from 2005-07 which used artificial lighting to conjure up night scenes of extraterrestrial landings. [citation needed]
In years 2003-2006, Roginski conceived the ‘’Poland Synthesis’’ series, a nocturnal portrait of the Polish province. The one of his last project is ‘’Black’’, that explores the photography as a medium and examines the borderline between photography and abstract painting. [citation needed]
