About

Bronisław Kózka

Bronisław Kózka is a contemporary photomedia artist, Hasselblad Master, and senior lecturer in photography at RMIT University. He works between Shanghai and Melbourne.

Kózka's practice is grounded in the relationship between landscape, perception, and technological mediation. His current work integrates LiDAR spatial scanning, AI-assisted image construction, and the production of sculptural photographic objects — large-scale works formed through UV printing on acrylic and heat-formed surfaces. These projects unfold through several interconnected series: Mountain Water (shanshui), the Garden Series, the Limen Series, and Digital Sediments — each exploring how digital and physical processes transform experience of landscape and place.

Central to his methodology is the concept of the Origin Image: a framework that begins with embodied encounters in the landscape and traces the layered processes through which images accumulate meaning. His engagement with Chinese shanshui aesthetics — the classical tradition of mountain and water landscape — forms a philosophical spine running through his recent practice.

Kózka has exhibited widely across Australia, China, Europe and Asia. He has been a curator of the Pingyao International Photography Festival since 2010, and has exhibited at West Bund Art & Design (Shanghai), the Grand Prix International de Photographie de Vevey (Broncolor Award), SIPF Singapore, Chobi Mela Bangladesh, and the Hanmi Museum of Photography, Seoul. His sculptural work has been presented at Sculpture by the Sea. His work is held in public and private collections internationally, and is published in the teNeues Hasselblad Masters Vol. 1.
