Floor: 3rd floor
The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
My artistic practice is built on the poetics of everyday life – found, discarded, and thrown objects. In the photographic series Everyday Sculptures, my work deals with public space, urban areas, and accidental encounters.
I am working mainly with analog photography, where I am part of the whole process; from researching the project, shooting, scanning, and developing the negatives and ideas for installations and sculptures for exhibitions. Ceramic is also part of my artistic practice. I am interested in capturing ephemeral elements and fortuitously still lives that we are surrounded by. I create photo installations and sculptures that I make from found and recycled materials as wood and bricks, which I then exhibit together with the photographs. My aim is to publish this body of work in a book in 2023, in Oslo.
Alongside my project Everyday Sculptures, I am engaged in creating photo documentary projects/series that deal with social problems among the Polish community in Norway and the issue of housing – the series Somewhere Else.
