FIVE SHORT EPISODES 2010 / video

“Five Short Episodes,” it is twenty ive minutes running

video consisting of ive parts. The irst part is innocent, devoid

of sound, video recording, in which the residents are shown

in a house opposite to the window of the registrant Images -

default protagonist. These are the most natural images that

he meets every day in the late evening being in his apartment.

We suspect that the ilm is really happening, what is beginning

to raise moral concerns in relation to the attitude of the author

of the material. In the following sections, after the author’s

tendency intensiied, anxiety is growing. Questions that may

cast at this point why they record and whether he may do it?

“Five Short Episodes,” gives the possibility of going a

journey, which never we were going. Although we have a cer-

tain ratio – whoever looking at the projection will be able to

close eyes?

Running time: 24mins, 58sek.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE 2010 / video

The video “I Have Never Been Here” is directly related to exhibition areas which I dealt

with during the implementation of my master’s thesis at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. The

area to which I devoted most of my attention was associated closely with human psychology in

the context of an internal duality, which is most fully expressed through the ideas of “I” and “what

is ‘mine’.” This time, unlike my master’s thesis, in which I referred to pure human physiognomy

as a data carrier constituting identity, I was trying to reach to the very core of the phenomenon

and to a situation where the boundary between “self” and “what’s ‘mine’ “ is the most noticeable.

This project is an audio-visual recording, the history of two elderly women living under

the same roof for more than 12 years. After the death of one of the women’s husbands, they

began to live together. The woman who moved into the apartment of her new roommate fell into

a deep depression because of a lack of adaptive skills.

The woman was shortly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease, had a stroke and developed Alzheim-

er’s. Six years after diagnosis of these diseases, she lost all contact with the world.

Two women, two points of reference and two relationships are the focus of the video.

It begins with a white image and an audio track. The audio track is monologue of a woman who

simultaneously tells two separate stories. The irst is about the very tragic life of the sick woman.

The other is about the story of this woman’s sickness. Both tracks are being heard at the same

time, and after a time change in the mid 8000 hz-squeak. At the same time a white screen

changes (like photography) in a video portrait of a woman, about who the story takes place.

(Staff in the appendix).

The key to the whole movie is knowing that a woman, we look has developed Alzheim-

er’s disease. The story we are hearing is just not applicable, or otherwise, this story is not hers.

We see the body of a woman devoid of inner identity, and if so, this identity exists only through

others.

Running time: 7 min.

NICE TO MEET YOU 2010

Man through his “I” (self-awareness) has established an abstract boundary

that accompanies us and conirms our divine nature. Despite our best intentions and

rational motives, this dualism operates in the conciousness of man and convinces him

that his being, what is “mine” (the human body with all the baggage of cultural mean-

ing, physiological-psychological body and my own ego), does not constitute “I” but only

builds its identity. My exhibition is an attempt to introduce the recipient to a place of

relection, between “I” and what is “mine” or otherwise substituting “I” for “mine”.

“Nice To Meet You” was a monthly exhibition presented in late April and May

2010 in Nova Gallery Art Agenda, in which I began to address the question of the body

/ body as the carrier of human identity. Exhibits were designed with a classical subject

showroom. It consisted of paintings, sculptures, objects, video installations and ilms.
