I am haunted by the thoughts of what has left
site-specific sculpture series, 2020
WROCLAW, PL
Thanks to human activity, the world as we know it is coming to its end. The neoliberal order has proved unreliable, and climate change is progressing so fast that we will probably not be able to stop it. In the face of the imminent disaster, I have allowed myself a vision that presents a fragment of the image of the new world after the fall through the existing signs of an emerging culture. This is a reality affected by the catastrophe, where the population has been giantly reduced, civilization has collapsed, and the technological achievements so far have lost their function and tell a completely different story.
The vision I would like to propose may refer to any point in time. It could be in the past, but it could also be a scenario of what is to come in the undefined future. The sculptures themselves will, in their essence, be both a sad commentary for our modern times and an attempt to answer a number of questions about what threatens an extreme and brutal break in the continuity of our civilization. Trying to give the impression of such an imagined world, I made a few small sculptures, made of unnecessary utility objects, scraps of fabric, garbage, and clay, which resemble enigmatic ritual figures.
The sculptures are created for the Wzgórze Gajowe (Wrocław, PL), which is wild and lushly overgrown with various flora. With its landscape, this place resembles a space that experienced a certain fall and was reborn in a changed and random form. In this scenery, my sculptures give the impression of traces of emerging culture from the waste of the previous civilization, they were created from the need to understand and capture the world.
