The thing with a project about confusion is that it can never really be right on track. Being committed to the premise means knowing that occasionally losing the thread is an integral part of the whole thing.
The artist creates blocs of percepts and affects, but the only law of creation is that the compound must stand up on its own.
'Utrata równowagi' at Ujazdowski Castle, Centre for Contemporary Art is the follow-up exhibition of 'Dizziness. Navigating the Unknown' at Kunsthaus Graz and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the experience and reflections on dizziness.
The series focuses, in feature films and short films or with video and performance, on future concepts beyond apocalyptic catastrophes or technical utopias that develop positive action patterns of social and economic coexistence.
This workshop will elucidate how dizziness breaks up the given, be it habits, beliefs, preconceptions or patterns, creating space and dynamics between established categories and perceived oppositions. In this sense dizziness provides power and dynamics to restructure, to rethink, to redesign the given.
