Konrad Smoleński (Poland)

Born in 1977. Lives in Bern (Switzerland) and Warsaw. He works with photography, video, installation, performance and happenings. One of the pillars of Panerstwo group (Poznań) and animator of Pink Punk alternative scene. A subtle, sculpted precision is typical for his works, and for the quality which ensures their purified, ascetic character. He experimented with making music using a boom operator, he performed during ‚partisan’ concerts of BNNT group. His works are full of unexpected objects, such as bombs made of gym balls or musical instruments made of missiles. In his work, he very often evokes questions about fear, anxiety and death.
