LiTE-HAUS welcomes Ewelina Makosa photographic solo exhibition "Unuseful".
Makosa was born in Warsaw, Poland and currently splits her time between Warsaw and Berlin. She is working on her Doctorate at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In the years 2006 – 2012 she studied Interior Architecture & Exhibition Design. She took part in solo and group exhibitions in Berlin, Warsaw and Milan.
Makosa expresses herself in visual arts such as: painting, photography, video, installations. The way she perceives space has fundamental influence on her art. Fragility of the body expresses the fundamental matter of her art works. The body is matter susceptible to the suffering, impulses coming from the outside.
“Unuseful” shows the matter of passing away in the context of the material environment we live in, that we create around us. The photos express matter of human death in context of used objects. The apartment space shows the environment where time stops, when the owner dies. The space dies almost together with its owner. Both waiting for the utilization. Being unuseful for anyone else. Waiting for a change.
Eine Umgebung, die vermutlich den Prozess des ständigen Wandels, des Vergehens, der Zerstörung und der Verwendbarkeit spiegelt, deren materielle Körperlichkeit das Geschehen der Auflösung überdauert. In einem Wohnraum, in dem die Zeit aufhört zu vergehen, weil er mit seiner Bewohnerin starb. Beide warten nur auf eine Änderung von außen, weil sie Unbrauchbar für alle anderen geworden sind.
