Barbara Janczak's project is an ephemeral and hedonistic act of pleasure, created in pursuit of sensual liberation. It is a product of the world of sporadic encounters, obsessed with intensity and surface absurdity of sensations. We are in the city of Chongquing, Sichuan Province, during the time of the harvest of the Durian fruit - the inhabitants of Asia say that "it smells like hell, tastes like heaven." The intimate nature of Barbara Janczak's activities are documented in a juicy photographic series. The capricious anthropomorphic forms observed in fruit echo sensual experiences. Photographs in MNIAM MNIAM GIRL connect to the films of Tsai Ming-liang, where the world is flooded only to be followed by a permeating drought. Together, the female body and the watermelon build intimacy that quickly turns into pulsating eroticism, an unsatiated hunger for fulfillment.
