Stairs, white chalk, dates of the years, being on the knees.

This artwork is about limits. A person creates limits and restrictions even while getting rid of them. A person leaves traces. Physically or mentally we find ourselves in the “boxing ring”. The public was involved in the action and became a part of this performance.

Trace

The memory about the human presence exists in his absence too. Sometimes it is only in the memory, sometimes it is outside. The interaction of the skin with a wall became a visible trace on both surfaces. The sign on the wall became an independent object that outlines the space of the gallery.
Ploughed field
Photo documentation. March, 2013
Skoki. Poland.

There are the lines in the snow drawn with the metal rods. The action was a research of the perception of the ground and field in a changed context.
