Settlement
The title refers to the settlement of dust and pollution in private and public spaces and the social search for a place and role on earth as a resident, neighbor, traveler and migrant.
Settlement is a presentation of records of ephemeral moments from everyday life on adhesive tapes and other sticky surfaces, which are an analogue microworld recorder and metaphysical measure of reality, point, line, abstract composition of situations. Carefully selected elements from different places of the artist’s residences, travels and meetings left a trail. Processed and designed with a view on the dialogue between the ephemeral and material world, they are elements of an exhibition consisting of an installation and performance.
The artist asks herself and her audience about pollution as the witness of our everyday activities and its impact on our lives.
An equally intriguing question is the identity and attachment to a place and trying to settle in a place just like dust.
Wolszczak’s works invite people to reflect on these issues, as well as to take part in a performance one to one with the artist in order to create a temporary community of settling.
‘Settlement’ it’s a dimension that is outside of anthropocentric perspective, which brings us closer to an understanding of the human/non-human dynamics.
Embedding is the continuation of the individual exhibition ‘Draught’ and project ‘Layers’ implemented since 2012. In recent presentations, Wolszczak presented the relations of time, motion and place, the movement of dust and adhesive tapes as analogue dust-recording machines.
