Info

An ‘Isla’ embodies a new, yet transformed area. Where all systems are the result of socio-ecological disaster. Those who reach the island are in fact survivors of the wreckage, be it physical, ecological or cultural. Their dysfunctional remains are the basis for the creation of islands, which are themselves the result of a process of adaptation by the exiles, of separation from civilisation with its legal system, and of phenomena such as climate catastrophe, technological overdevelopment, moral relativism, sociological and urban problems.

Dryland





Video performance
Vistula


The theme of the performance is related to the drought and falling river levels, which we can observe every day on the Vistula. The landscape near the river is being transformed, the land is encroaching further and further into the water, new islands are being created.

Unsuccessful are the attempts of the individual to preserve the nesting vegetation around thanks to the course of the river, perishing day after day. The loss of the individual's faith in the possibility of change and causality is combined with the loss of symbiosis with nature. Can we shape the world around us and continue to build our civilization without depriving nature of its natural course ? Can we design the world by other methods, in harmony with our planet ?
