IZA KOCZANOWSKA
based in
☁️ /
Rotterdam / Warsaw
An interdisciplinary artist and set designer whose work focuses on both research and interior architecture formats.
She utilizes pale palettes, biomaterials, and 3D prints to merge speculative realities with quasi-documentary techniques. By integrating performance, video, and interactive portals, she blurs the limits between the physical and virtual realms. In her work, both public and private spaces become a solid ground for exploring alternative realities that resist the economic structures of being. She does this while remaining within the inquiries arising from this process, rather than seeking imposed, direct solutions that offer definitive and quick results.
