This exhibition revolves around a poetic and rather troubling account of the collective experiences of and reflections on the condition of the seas in the face of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Storm<\/em><\/strong> portrays an image of the sea and a distant island observed by five characters who reveal their most hidden emotions as the destructive wind and waves grow bigger. The threatening weather uncovers social tensions and conflicts within the small community, which seems to be unprepared to face the coming dangers together.<\/p>\n<p>Through her extensive and experimental film language, the artist creates situations in which collective storytelling becomes possible. Bregu\u0142a considers collaborative fiction writing a political activity that supports the process of diagnosing, expressing, and discussing societal problems.<\/p>\n<p>The artist\u2019s latest film, <strong><em>The Fish<\/em><\/strong>, imagines the poetic transformation of a fisherwoman into a sea being. After she comes to understand the severe condition of her beloved sea, the protagonist rather abruptly changes her alliances and decides to stay under the water\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p>The film takes inspiration from the urgent stories of communities facing serious disturbances caused by the climate crisis and the devastation of the sea. Its narrative is partially based on real people, and in particular the life experience of a Swedish fisherwoman, Manjula, with whom the artist worked closely, not just as a protagonist but also as a co-creator of the story. Many of Bregu\u0142a\u2019s film projects\u2014which demonstrate a rich filmic language and elaborated conceptual approaches\u2014are co-created with their protagonists and participants, blurring the boundaries between professional and amateur artistic activity. Short stories collaboratively written by Bregu\u0142a and the participants of her projects are also included in the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>Karolina Bregu\u0142a was the 2023 recipient of the Media Art Grant from the Stiftung Niedersachsen at the House for Media Art.<\/p>\n<p>The info booklet on the exhibition with brief descriptions of all exhibited works can be downloaded free of charge as a PDF.
