Plateau concentrates on testing the concept of the human condition as part of a larger geographical, social, and cultural organism. The project is an attempt to depict the concept of consciousness as “knowledge incarnate,” comparable to long-term historical-temporal-spatial processes, recalling the process of creation of geological deposits and folds. The body is understood here not only in an anatomical sense, but also as a realm, a plane of recording structures and formations, fulfilling the role of an alternate consciousness. Everything we experience is recorded in the body in the form of an internalised foundation, which in the future will form the beginning of new events.

 

 

Lena Dobrowolska (born 1985, Lubin)

Graduated in photography from University College Falmouth in 2010. Her works are an expression of the struggle with the definition of who we are. To this end, she uses landscape as an equivalent of a stage, referring to places from memory and snippets of our experiences. Recently she has begun to experiment with installation art, through which she attempts to construct narrative environments incorporating image, objects, and sounds. She lives and works in Edinburgh.
