When it comes to your artworks, you seem to have a very wide range – sculptures, architecture, installations, videos – what feels to be the closest to you?

It fits pretty well to the fact that I studied at Transmedia Art class with Brigitte Kowanz. I choose the medium according to what idea I’m working on – it needs to be communicated clearly. Principally that could be any medium. At the moment I’m mostly working with sculptures. My interest has always been connected to our immediate surroundings – I did a lot of research on architecture and on how our body reacts to certain environments. I focus on working with various construction materials – I’m trying to set them free somehow in their use, to see them differently than we’re used to in daily life.

You’ve recently spent a few months in residency in Dessau – what were you working there on?

I continued my research on aerated concrete at Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau. There was a big scientific research program mostly about smart materials, in collaboration with many partners, such as Fraunhofer Institut or Universität der Künste Berlin. We discussed what it means for materials to be smart. To me smartness or intelligence is being created out of communication. Communication processes, in a broader meaning, lead us to better understanding of the world’s existence. That’s why I experiment with materials in a working mode I would call dialogic – I give an input and the material responses. In the ideal case the dialogue continues and the resulting form is the outcome of this dialogue in which both interlocutors are respected in the same way.
