🎉 Opening Reception: September 18, 2025 (Thursday), 7:00 PM Agnieszka Mastalerz invites viewers to feel the pulse of matter: from choreographed bodies to molten magnesium, everything in her newest exhibition interweaves and overlaps, endlessly reborn into new forms. The artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Poland presents two new video works – "Mould" and "Ὁδός" – linked by themes of movement, expression, and the creative process. "Mould", a 35mm film projected through a 300-kilogram analog machine – rattling and monumental – becomes both image and object, a sculptural form resonating with the pulsing rhythm of the film itself. "Ὁδός" transports viewers into a space of inorganic transformation – metallic alloys, thermal energy, and a paradoxical vitality. The point of departure for these works is the figure of Danuta Kwapiszewska (1922–1999) – a choreographer and dancer who, after an accident, was forced to end her stage career and redirected her creative energy toward figurative sculpture. Forty years after her exhibition "My Sculptures Dance for Me" at the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Mastalerz returns to the theme of transforming both creative and vital energy. This is an exhibition to be experienced – a play of illusions and questions, where physical perception becomes a guide through the works. As curator Krzysztof Miękus notes, analog film itself is a perceptual trick enabled by the Latham loop mechanism: frames succeed one another so quickly that their boundaries dissolve, creating a sense of continuity. 🌐 More information: https://www.fiff.org.pl Curator: Krzysztof Miękus Partners: Eidotech Polska, La Squadra Support: White Stone Development, Fort Mokotów The production of "Mould" was supported by the Young Poland scholarship of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (2024). 📅 Gallery Opening Hours: - September 19–21, 2025 (Warsaw Gallery Weekend+): Daily, 11:00 AM–7:00 PM - September 22 – November 16, 2025: - Wednesday–Friday: 2:00–6:00 PM - Saturday–Sunday: 12:00–6:00 PM 🎟️ Admission: Free
