Unveling worlds and orders that exist on the verge of what we usually think is important and worthy of notice. Slow processes in which the past is fossilised and absorbed by earth, ties that cannot be broken but which are reinvented in dreams, the living force of tiny ecosystems found in the urbanized space.
Strata, 8'59", 2017.
Layers of golden dust that once before were bees and buterflies.
Hänsel und Gretel / This, what Remains, 15'49", 2014.
In the middle of the city stands a forgotten house with a particular bas-relief above the entrance gate, on it, a couple of children is looking at a house deeply hidden in the forest. Not far from this place there is a real and mysterious forest, full of treasures from the not-so-distant past. Gold and silver glitters in the setting sun, deep in the ground the roots of the trees hide shattered story of the forgotten children. All that remains is slowly being digested by the earth and time.
Walking the Dog, 6'23", 2015.
A journey across the subsequent stages of the symbolic relationship between a dog and a human being. A reconstruction of the bond, submission and power. A registration of hidden gestures. Autonomy is intolerable. Escape is out of the question. A stray and uncontrolled dog becomes unwanted waste. A dog is an animal in constant service, driven by its bounden duty.
We met X, 9'20", 2013.
We met X at an altitude of 19600 ft. She had been repeating the same path for days. Without haste, always last, she would close the procession. X did not long for contact, she avoided closeness.
Dreaming the Dog, 13'45", 2022.
Dog and human are an inseparable pair in a relationship that lasts for good and bad for centuries. In this relationship, the independent dog's existence disappears because its autonomy in this unequal relationship has no "raison d'être". The dog, therefore, cannot leave; it can, however, dream.
Night Shade Bright, 4'45".
A world of wonders found in a sidewalk. Armed with medicinal flowers and poisonous fruits. Indifferent to our presence.
A video program by Maya Wołinska.
