Czech Republic, 1952
Marek Boguszak is a Prague-based photographer whose work transforms desert landscapes into perceptual abstractions. Using photographs made in locations such as Death Valley and the dunes of Abu Dhabi, he reconstructs landscape through shifts in color, light, orientation, and form, gradually moving the image between photography and abstraction. By suppressing clarity and detail, he creates visually unstable spaces that resist fixed interpretation and evoke geological forms, bodily surfaces, fabric, or architecture.
Working across more than four decades, Boguszak’s practice evolved from analogue black-and-white photography to large-scale digital color works conceived as immersive spatial experiences. His work has been exhibited internationally and received awards including consecutive First Prizes at the International Photography Awards (2023, 2024) and the Gold Award at the Prix de la Photographie Paris (2024).
