Ewa Kulesza’s exhibition is a collection of openwork objects – cages. It is a combination of soft, organic materials incorporated into linear, geometric, compact forms. Like soft flesh covering a skeleton, it is a compact, inseparable tissue. In this way, the structure of closure and limitation is revealed. It bears marks – traces of the presence of life. The objects we see are neither the beginning, a sketch, nor the end, the final shape. They remain suspended, unfinished. Both light, due to their material openness, and heavy, due to the number of associations forming in the mind of the viewer.

She works at the intersection of sculpture and photography. She uses ephemeral and changeable materials such as ash, brick dust and photosensitive emulsion. She creates installations and art books, working at the intersection of sculpture and photography. She observes the process of transferring real events and objects into the intangible resource of memory, the impermanence of memories, transience. She confronts the viewer with objects of unclear purpose, which, through constant exposure to light-sensitive substances covering them, become palimpsestic carriers of events, including those that escape human perception.
