Kalinowska
All my projects essentially consist of observing human behavior in extreme
situations. I try to freeze very short moments of extreme physical and
mental tension. Decisions made under such a pressure have strategic impact
not only on our nearest future but also might influence our whole lives.
Under pressure we expand our self-consciousness and therefore intensify
the next choices we make in our lives. That’s why, during those
short moments, we are able to mobilize our whole potential and let go
of the energy we never dreamed we might possess. – Agnieszka Kalinowska
Program
Gallery Talk by Agnieszka Kalinowska to be announced.
