IZA KOCZANOWSKA
based in
☁️ /
Rotterdam / Warsaw
An interdisciplinary artist and set designer whose work focuses on both research and interior architecture formats.
By utilizing pale palettes, biomaterials, and 3D printing, I merge speculative realities with quasi-documentary techniques. Through the integration of performance, video, and interactive portals, I blur the boundaries between physical and virtual realms. In my work, both public and private spaces serve as fertile ground for exploring alternative realities that resist dominant economic structures of being.
I remain engaged with the questions that emerge from this process, rather than seeking imposed, direct solutions or definitive outcomes. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary, research-based projects that explore regenerative forms of touristic experience in response to ecological, political, and existential uncertainty
