What you can see in her works

Are you wondering how the past can be grasped? How to remember moments gone by? How to depict and valuate them? Agnieszka comes up with an answer to these questions by using nostalgia as a living critical resource, which serves to formulate the past and the feeling of the “past”, as an objective to depict an idealised version of time. Her work frequently features animation, video and photography. Her luxurious photographic and animated video works are based on the permanent return to the visual well of the past. The main sources of her video stories, which often fill the viewer with anxiety and confusion, are found photos, newspapers mainly from the interwar period, documents and forgotten visual architects, as well as ancient techniques and methods.

Luxury project: “I am the Mouth”

Her project I am the Mouth, a dreamy tableau of huge whispering lips party submerged in water, was included by curator Adam Budak into the cycle of luxury installations at the Poetry Passage, which you could have seen at the Trade Fair Palace in Prague. Agnieszka’s short animated video was inspired by Samuel Beckett’s theatre play Not I.
