Jarząb Agnieszka
In 2004 she graduated from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, majoring in Printmaking.
The main area of my interest is widely understood animation. In my artistic practice I deal with animated film in its classic version (short graphic stories), I also like animated experiments (non-camera animation), I am inspired by activities on the border of media, combining animation with music and performance (LIVE performances). For some time now, together with Maciek Bączyk (my husband) I have been co-creating the artistic-family duo kinoMANUAL.
Our joint activity is based on experimenting with a moving image, animation, light-art and sound. It also gives us an opportunity to observe closely the phenomenon of artistic duos, developing their individuality and intense cooperation at the same time.
