Practice: Music, video, photography
It is almost a decade now when I live in Wroclaw and I feel the strong bond not only with the city, but most of all with whole region of Lower Silesia, feeling very thankful for all the people I encounter here and what together we do. I am astonished by diversity of nature and mountain ranges here which I love to visit and hike through. Apart of the place of residence it is important for me how I can work and express myself in a daily life. I dedicate myself to music production, filmmaking and photography, on different level of engagement in different periods of time, although music has always been the medium of art occupying me the most. Mostly I am self-taught and I prefer DIY way of action. I appreciate all the opportunities I had to learn from others in the realm of film, music and photography. Clashing ideas and observing others artists’ approaches gave me a huge inspiration to be persistent and stay true to myself, my own visions and desire of creating art. I strongly believe that looking into one’s self and seeking own voice in whole spectrum of expression will lead to better understanding what life is, feel it fully and stay true towards challenges that are there to come. Expanding awareness of the weaknesses, fears, but also staying true to myself is the principle I am constantly trying to implement in order to go through the life with peace within the heart.
Areas of interest: Music, films, analysis of C. G. Jung, Spanish culture
Magic Carpets project
Cards and People is a socio-artistic residency project at the intersection of the art of film documentaries and the art of card games. Two young artists enter the magical world of cards thanks to a group of bridge enthusiasts who meet regularly at the Pod Kolumnami Club in Wrocław’s Nadodrze district. It is from this place that everyone sets out together on a performative journey on the border of forms, narratives and conventions. On this journey through places, people and history, you don’t have to follow any rules! With one exception. Follow the bridge rules!
