The fault, is not in our stars, But in ourselves | To nasza, nie gwiazd naszych wina, Cricoteka, Cracow, 2021-2022
Created installation is an interactive, multi-media work inspired by Tadeusz Kantor’s birth horoscope, originally drawn by Janina Kraupe. This installation, displayed at the Kantor Gallery-Atelier, interacts with Kantor’s last unfinished play „Today is My Birthday” and evolves over four months based on real-time planetary transits, dynamically altering according to the movement of the stars. The installation features lasers creating light compositions that reflect planetary and stellar relationships, projections, mechanical elements, and sound, all interacting with and dependent on these transits. By merging Kraupe’s esoteric horoscope with Kantor’s scenographic objects, I have crafted a hybrid astro-object that reinterprets Kantor’s concept of the bio-object. This work not only pays homage to Kantor’s life and artistic journey but also delves into his reflections on death and his magnetic, creative personality, ultimately questioning whether our paths are determined by the stars or ourselves.
Pre/senζe, Wschodnia Gallery, Lodz, 2022
Presence is a certain creative form that somehow initiates action and gives pre-sense to things. This is where the creation of things begins. Every action, every creative act is preceded by the appearance of a certain intention, and each time this intention is slightly different. The viewer will have a different interpretation the next time he or she looks at the work. Just as observation determines the quantum state, presence influences the action, form and appearance of works.
The installation is an example of such a relationship – its shape and behavior depend on
what is currently happening in the gallery space. The basis of the work will be light, constantly changing its shape, a composition resembling constellations of connections that will constantly transform, depending on changes in the environment. Both the presence and the way of interacting with space are interpreted by the computer, giving it a greater role in creating the work and giving it form. The creative act is endless, each change in space will affect the entire composition, constantly changing its (un)final tone. The presence itself constantly interprets what is happening. If the observer focuses solely on observation, it creates a kind of tension between the viewer and what may happen to the work. The dreamy and meditative atmosphere of the gallery will from time to time clash with the tension taking place in the space, which will become a place of constantly transforming metaphor.
Progressus ad Infinitum, Krakow, 2017
Progressus ad Infinitum is an interactive installation that is inspired both by the cosmological description of the universe by Oskar Goldberg, a German-Jewish physician and religious philosopher, and modern science.
The artistic nature of work consists primarily in the study of space and its causal relationships. The way in which we create and influence the space will always carry changes which will affect the further development of the situation. Just like in the world of particles, even a delicate change of molecules is reflected on the effect depicted on a suspended screen.
The concept of Goldberg’s cosmology proclaims the division into two meanings of reality, where opportunities (in the sense of constituent elements to create a truly existing situation) and existing facts exist physically at the same level of reality.

ACTION-ROTATION, Synchrotron, Krakow, 2018
Collaborated with Intermedia Department
The installation was presented in the synchrotron hall – the largest research device in Poland. The leitmotif of the activities we prepared was communication between man and technology, light and „seeing”, science and art.
Installation was arranged in the entire space of the experimental hall – a „contact zone” between man and technology, what is measurable with the naked eye, and what to see we need light millions of times stronger than the Sun. It is also a pioneering experiment born on the border of art and science.
