ANNA KONIK

At the centre of Konik’s attention is the human being — virtually all of her works are a process of ‘approaching’ the Other, resulting from encounters with other people and their realities. Taking the perspective of subjective experiences as her point of departure, the artist highlights their social aspect, and the viewer is confronted not only with an individual story but with broader contemporary issues. However, the work of Anna Konik refuses to be easily inscribed in the paradigm of critical art. It offers much more than just a critical description of reality or comments on the contemporary condition. Konik uses the language of video to convey her protagonists’ experiences and mental states, seeking formal solutions to translate complex mechanisms of memory work, retrospection, emotions, elusive intuitions or impressions into the syntax of video installation and the structure of exhibition space. In her works form and content always complement each other and are equally important. 

​

W samym centrum zainteresowań Anny Konik znajduje się człowiek – niemal wszystkie jej prace są „dochodzeniem” do Innego, powstają w konsekwencji spotkania z innymi ludźmi, z ich rzeczywistościami. Wychodząc od pespektywy subiektywnych doświadczeń artystka wskazuje ich wymiar społeczny, a odbiorca konfrontuje się już nie tylko z indywidualną historią, ale z realnymi problemami współczesnego świata. Twórczość Anny Konik nie daje się jednak zbyt łatwo wpisać w nurt sztuki krytycznej. Jest dużo bogatsza niż krytyczny opis rzeczywistości, czy tworzenie komentarzy na temat współczesności. Konik transformuje na język wideo także przeżycia i stany psychiczne bohaterów swoich prac, poszukując takich rozwiązań formalnych, aby skomplikowane mechanizmy pracy pamięci, retrospekcji, ujawniane emocje, trudne do uchwycenia intuicje czy wrażenia przełożyć na składnię instalacji wideo i strukturę przestrzeni wystawowej. W jej realizacjach treść i forma zawsze są swoim dopełnieniem i zajmują równorzędne miejsca.

​

​

Anna Konik’s works, manifesting itself over the past several years mostly in the form of video installations, occupies and important, slightly separate, space in Polish art world. Her works are transgressive and interdisciplinary in their nature, they are situated at the intersection, or perhaps the shared spaces, between various artistic areas. The artist creates form which are complex and inhomogeneous, combining the properties which are most often scattered throughout various spheres of social activities. In her works she offers a new form of hybrid, transgressive audio-visual experience and the experienced world. The processes of transgressing and overcoming oppositions become a source of energy, from which Anna Konik’s art emerges – along with its forms, meanings, and aesthetics; both its artistic and social values.  

​

Twórczość Anny Konik, manifestująca się w ostatnich kilkunastu latach przede wszystkim w postaci instalacji wideo, zajmuje w przestrzeni sztuki w Polsce bardzo specyficzne, odrębne miejsce. Tworzone przez nią dzieła mają charakter transgresyjny i transdyscyplinarny, sytuują się na pograniczach albo też wspólnych obszarach różnych dziedzin twórczych. Artystka powołuje do istnienia formy złożone i niejednorodne, łączące w sobie atrybuty zwykle rozproszone w różnych sferach aktywności społecznych. Proponuje w swej twórczości nową postać hybrydycznego, transgresyjnego doświadczenia audiowizualnego i doświadczanego świata. Procesy przekraczania i przezwyciężania przeciwieństw stają się źródłami energii, z której wyłania się sztuka Anny Konik, z której kształtują się jej formy, sensy, estetyka. Jej wartości artystyczne i zarazem społeczne.
