Program: Bodism 2019

My project shows an attempt to cope with everyday existence and give it meaning. In the chaos of events, thoughts, issues, routine and everyday rituals become a safe haven that protects us from asking ourselves questions about meaning, etc. Treatments around the body, obsession with beauty and youth, excessive health care give us the illusion of controlling time and body. Bursting, splitting, striking out, alienating is not the result of a symptom, a disease manifestation of its existence. This is just because there is a crack, split, alienating fission in human nature.

The Krakow climbing scene has always been full of personalities from the edge of science, culture and art. For many, sport was a window to the world. The invisible force that draws you into sport is like a drug. Sometimes it doesn't seem to make any sense, but without it everything else loses its meaning as well. Whether you represent the country internationally, climb rocks, or do it just to push your boundaries – it sets the rhythm of your life.

Spoken Movie 5

Spoken Movie 5 2010

1

At the level of text, Bąkowski's Spoken Film 5 relies on strikingly personal and direct lyricism targeted directly at the viewer. The film is a minimalist, monochrome, hand-drawn animation. Contrary to the previous Spoken Films, it does not lend itself to easy division into parts, which are all merged here by repetitive elements of image and text (such as the vertical lines in the first scene, which later start rotating like the hands of a clock, referred to in the text of the second scene, which finally unfolds into the image of a digital clock). The music for Spoken Film was written by Dawid Szczęsny, experimental musician and turntabler, who works with Bąkowski in a duo called Niwea.
