Action-Reaction

A video installation examining the psychological and social dynamics of gender relations, using spatial media and performative structure to invert traditional power roles between feminine and masculine identities.

 

First Exhibited: Modelarnia Gallery, Academy of Fine Arts, Gdańsk, Poland.

2002

INSTALLATION

The Cross

An investigation into the weight of language. A large-scale light projection in the shape of a cross, constructed from a dense matrix of profanities and symbols. The work serves as a profound existential metaphor: "we build our own crosses, which we must then carry." By giving language a physical, heavy architectural form, the installation compels the viewer to reflect on the weight of their own words and the responsibility for the symbols used to define their reality.

 

First Exhibited: Academy of Fine Arts, Athens, Greece.

VIDEO INSTALLATION

Wanted

Wanted addresses the intersection of identity and public perception. By utilizing the visual language of "search" and "desire," the installation questions how we project our needs onto others and the societal labels that define what—or who—is considered valuable or missing.

 

First Exhibited: Cooperativa Gallery, Athens, Greece

2001

VIDEO INSTALLATION

Tower Babel

Tower Babel is an audiovisual deconstruction of the Tower of Babel myth, based on a provocative sociological observation: in the process of assimilating into a foreign culture, profanities are often the first words we learn. The work features Polish swear words written phonetically in the Greek alphabet, exposing the primitive foundation of human communication. It is a study of language that, instead of fostering understanding, serves as a "dirty" bridge between nations.

 

First Exhibited: Academy of Fine Arts, Athens, Greece.

VIDEO INSTALLATION

Bath Tube

In this installation, the bathtub functions as a boundary, while the video projection represents a "match" — a dynamic struggle of senses and perception. Central to the work is dough, used as a symbol of "unformed matter." Through the physical act of hand-kneading and shaping it, the artist channels a creative force often associated in symbolic tradition with masculine sexuality and primal energy.

This process becomes a site of "struggle or surrender": by molding the dough, the creator shapes the human senses (eye, ear), subjecting them to the act of creation. It is a further research into female-male relations through the lens of analytical psychology (Jungian style), where the manual labor with matter serves as a metaphor for the formation of the psyche and the psychological interplay between genders.

 

First Exhibited: Academy of Fine Arts, Gdańsk, Poland.

VIDEO INSTALLATION

Mystery of Woman’s Power

A room-scale video installation where the projection is cast onto the ceiling, forcing a shift in the viewer's perspective. The work explores the mystery of woman’s power — a force as inscrutable and monumental as the mystery of the pyramids on Mars.

Set to the rhythmic sound of water droplets, close-ups of the nude female form evolve into a "divine eye" before aligning into a formation of three pyramids, mirroring the structures found on the Martian surface. It is a visual investigation of primal creative energy and archetypal power, bridging the intimacy of the human body with cosmic enigmas.
