Multimedia artist living and working in Central and Eastern Europe. Her practice draws from informal forms of knowledge—gossip, folk tales, indigenous narratives. She is interested in quasi-documentary work, which puts her in contact with various human and non-human communities. Together with them, she observes contemporary instincts within the context of a post-end-of-the-world reality. Her works are characterized by anxiety, eeriness, spirituality, and a deep emotional resonance.
In addition to the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, she studied at the UdK University in Berlin, the ZHdK University of the Arts in Zurich, and the LUCA School of Arts in Brussels. Her works have been exhibited in Poland and internationally—on screens at Piccadilly Circus in London, K-Pop Square in Seoul, and Yunika Vision in Tokyo (by Circa Gallery and Dazed Magazine), as well as at Manifesta 14, the Zachęta National Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Center of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko, and the Ujazdowski Castle Center for Contemporary Art. After a year-long residency organized by the Contemporary Theater in Szczecin and Münchner Kammerspiele, she directed a play there with Anna Mazurek. She also collaborates with theaters as a set designer.
