Formally speaking. Sculpted images of Fryderyk Chopin

Fryderyk Chopin Museum, Poland, 2025

Formally speaking. Sculpted images of Fryderyk Chopin is a temporary exhibition project for Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Poland.

Kinetic space, in the exhibition design “Formally speaking. Sculptural images of Fryderyk Chopin”. The leitmotif of the exhibition arrangement is the issue of real and apparent motion. Metallic balloons with Chopin's image move under the influence of air movement and temperature changes, and the busts move along their own axis on pedestals with a mechanical turner, which serves as a display for the sculptures. We engage the viewer on a purely perceptual and psychological level, not on an emotional level. For our practice, these include research on the effects of optical illusion, on the other hand, concentration on pure movement, determined both naturally and mechanically. The indirect goal of the project is to illustrate the study of the mechanisms of vision, striving for a pictorial and artistic rendering of dynamics, optical phenomena and light in exhibitions. We use this tool to go beyond any fixed and closed compositional ambitions in imposed relationships between objects.
