Mark Maziarz landed in Park City after college in 1989, ready to find his life. He did. Maziarz took up photography as a teenager in Chicago, when he became fascinated with an old Yashica rangefinder camera that his uncle had brought back from Vietnam. Jump forward 20 years, and Mark had become fully entrenched in the photographic world, with a rapidly-growing and award-winning library of lifestyle and sports images, and the world’s largest collection of Park City images (totaling over a quarter million images). His work was featured in publications all over the world and represented in a dozen countries. It was rewarding in many ways. But Mark likes to dig deep. To take things apart and understand how they work. To find the next level and to see how it might be coaxed to the surface and defined in new ways. To ask questions through photographs. So he stepped out of the more commercial side of photography and into the world of concept, of possibility, of art. He conceptualized different photographic projects and pursued them single-mindedly. He built a large-format camera – the “Digiview” – using vintage brass lenses and a modern digital back, and began shooting portraits that had an exceptional painterly quality. He was given unusual access to Sundance Film Festival celebrities and filmmakers in order to photograph them with the Digiview for his “One-Minute Portrait Series.” Next he asked: “What if the fleeting sense of the world moving past — the merry-go-round effect — could be encapsulated in an abstract frame?” And answered the question with his “Geolines” series – a collection of works that considers the reduction/expansion cycle and stretches digital slices of photographs into evocative bars of color. And most recently with his “Teetime” and “Skitime” Series, he’s pushed the boundaries of megapixels to search for intricacies in antique ski and golf equipment, utilizing highresolution photography to explore detail in the objects around us, asking us to engage with their stories in deeper ways. Maziarz is a master technician photographically, but perhaps more importantly, he is a visionary. He speaks through his photographs, asking potent cultural questions beneath their aesthetic appeal and graphic strengths. His works, already in acclaimed collections, will bring pleasure and value to any spaces they inhabit.
