Force of Light. The exhibition shows, for the first time, a selection of video works by the internationally highly respected Polish sculptor (b. 1958). Balka uses simple means to film everyday scenes and moments, most of them observations of details which go on to assume a mysterious and poetic dimension in his films.

The exhibition shows, for the first time, a selection of video works by the internationally highly respected Polish sculptor (b. 1958). Bałka uses simple means to film everyday scenes and moments, most of them observations of details which go on to assume a mysterious and poetic dimension in his films. Tiny events produce images of great intensity, which touch upon fundamental human experiences, fears and hopes.
Five video works from the last six years are being shown. Many of the projections have small sculptural additions that give them a concrete place in the exhibition space and involve the ephemeral medium of video in a physical reality.
The title of the exhibition, taken from a poem by Paul Celan, also plays thoughtfully with the preconditions for a medium that has by now become so important in the field of art.
