B2 Atelier is pleased to present Metamorphic Bodies, a trio exhibition bringing together the photographic practices of Louis Rodiger, Monika Maroziene, and Alex Silver.

Across distinct visual languages, each artist approaches the human figure as a site of transformation. The body is not fixed or documentary; it becomes symbolic terrain — shaped by myth, memory, material, and shadow.

Louis Rodiger constructs cinematic tableaux infused with mysticism and altered states of consciousness. Drawing from lucid dreaming and mythological archetypes, his chiaroscuro portraits stage the figure as both sacred and volatile, suspended between beauty and destruction.

Monika Maroziene engages the body through elemental intervention. Her black-and-white photographs, treated with natural pine resin, evoke the Baltic landscape and its emotional austerity. Women appear solitary and self-contained, their forms grounded in texture and silence, suggesting resilience within stillness.

Alex Silver strips the image to sculptural essence. Working in deep contrast, he transforms light and shadow into instruments of intimacy. His figures emerge from darkness as meditations on identity, vulnerability, and interior strength.

Together, these artists expand photography beyond representation. In Metamorphic Bodies, the human form becomes a threshold — between the subconscious and the elemental, the mythic and the personal. The exhibition proposes transformation not as spectacle, but as condition: the body as evolving presence, carrying both fragility and power.

Alex Silver

Alex Silver’s artistic journey began at the age of thirteen, when he first explored photography and music production as parallel forms of creative expression. He later refined his vision at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, studying Fine Art and Photography, where he developed a disciplined yet intuitive visual language.

Silver’s work is driven by a deep desire to interpret the world and his personal experiences through layered imagery. His photographs often merge emotional intensity with refined composition, creating scenes that feel both intimate and universal. Through light, texture, and carefully constructed atmosphere, he invites viewers to slow down and engage with subtle narratives embedded within the frame.

Influenced by respected mentors across artistic and environmental disciplines, Silver approaches image-making as a means of provoking reflection and emotional resonance. His practice seeks not only to capture a moment, but to evoke a profound shift in perception—encouraging viewers to reconsider identity, memory, and the unseen dimensions of experience.
