Blind spot

This is the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Poland. It presents two new video works, both exploring themes of movement, expression, and the creative process.

One of the works is inspired by Danuta Kwapiszewska — a dancer who, after acquiring a physical disability, turned to sculpture. Collaborating with Portuguese choreographer Diana Niepce — who also navigates changing physical mobility — Mastalerz creates a choreography based on Kwapiszewska’s sculptures, investigating the relationship between corporeality and expression.

The second video is a minimalist recording of the movement of machines in an industrial process — an automated choreography transforming organic matter.

The exhibition adopts an immersive spatial form: the film based on Kwapiszewska’s life and work is projected using a 35mm analog projector, positioned in the gallery space as a sculptural object; the second piece is shown digitally. The contrast between organic movement and mechanical precision highlights different facets of vitality and explores the tensions between choreography and kinematics.
