The photography from the Tomasz Sikorski collection presents Clothes – a piece from the cycle Self-tautologies – Nothing about Myself created by Jerzy Treliński in the 1970s. On the photo, there are two women walking the street in Zielona Góra city in 1975. First of them has the dress, while the second – the vest with prints ‘Treliński’. The prints on the clothes were made from the same typographical pattern.
Treliński as an artist is for the whole his life associated with the Łódź neo-avantgarde milieu. He combined within his works the inspiration form the conceptualism and Russian constructivism. In the Self-tautologies cycle, he created a lot of objects, from books, posters, and postcards, to clothes and flags, to pencil graffiti and everyday-life objects. All of the items were marked by the creator’s surname, always made as the same graphic sign. That way, signaling his presence, Treliński did not reveal anything about himself, while the sign of his individuality became the commentary to the social reality.
