“Words” is an artist’s book exploring the relation between language and image through the frameworks of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Anna Wierzbicka and Carl Gustav Jung.
// SPECIAL SIGNS
A historical collection of tattoos held by the Department of Forensic Medicine at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, dating back to 1872.
// TOOLS OF CRIME
The Tools of Crime series presents ordinary objects implicated in acts of death, foregrounding the unsettling agency of things within human relationships.
// BACKGROUND
“Background” examines the layered aftermath of post-war displacement in Poland’s western and northern territories, where objects left behind—furniture, images, domestic artefacts—form a persistent and uneasy cultural substrate. The project unfolds through two intertwined narratives: archival photographs drawn from public and institutional collections, and the artist’s own images documenting the present condition of these remnants. Together, they trace the shifting status — from traces of loss, through classified “post-German property,” to elements absorbed into everyday life—revealing how memory resists erasure and continues to inhabit material form.
// ABYSSES
In “Abysses”, a sleep profile derived from multi-channel physiological recordings — including EEG, EMG, ECG and breathing patterns — forms the basis of the work. Reworked into a spatial, multi-channel installation, the material unfolds as an immersive environment of sound and image, developed in collaboration with composer Rafał Zapała.
