Entanglement, 2025   
Rondo Sztuki  
Katowice 

Curated by: Zofia Małysa-Janczy 


An entanglement moves through the intimacies of practice‭, ‬grounded in memory and place where no written traces exist‭, ‬but where‭ ‬histories were transmitted orally and remain sensorially present‭.‬

The rural ground once inhabited by peasant ancestors and animal life coexisting under the same roof‭, ‬a land that remains legally‭ ‬and materially unresolved across four generations‭, ‬with ownership circulating through archival and juridical systems‭, ‬returns as a legacy gift‭, ‬an unstable condition of inheritance activated through field recordings‭, ‬scanning‭, ‬and embodied engagement‭, ‬alongside an ongoing negotiation with systems of land registration and its material claims‭.‬

Collapsing structures, memory of place, and scanned fragments, where wire-and-straw construction techniques and material re-assemblages do not perform history but press against its silences, entangling past and present as a lived and ongoing condition in which forms of habitation and origin continue to resonate - where does land end and identity begin when place, inheritance, and belonging remain unresolved?
