Grzyb Marek
In 1997 he graduated from the Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, majoring in Printmaking.
In today's "defragmented" reality, the past and its immaterial and material manifestations seem very appealing to me. They are a kind of a stabiliser in which I look for solutions, answers and confirmation of my intuition. My interest in the past has led me to use many artefacts in my artistic work, from which I try to create an album, a collection or a set of objects. This strategy helps me to master other people's 'visual' stories and relationships with which I work. The figure of a 'collection' enables me to create my own narratives based on other people's stories, objects and images.
