01. Untitled xi (wall tableau)
Meditation on figuration and abstraction, the installation draws formal elements from Matejko's Battle of Grunwald, Goya's Disasters of War, and Wyspański’s pastel studies of hand gestures. It transposes scenes of historical rupture into a minimalist, almost spectral language of material tension and corporeal choreography. It reenacts grand violence not through spectacle, but through intimacy of the figure. What remains are traces - delicate and ambiguous. This work does not re-stage the past, but mourns its aftereffects in its materiality.
