Agnieszka Polska: Travels in scale at 1646

After New York, Paris, London, Warshaw, Shanghai and Venice, visual artist and film director Agnieszka Polska is coming to The Hague to fill 1646 with her immersive video works and installations. Super excited for coming Winter!

In her work, Agnieszka Polska shuffles different positions and perspectives, exploring the complexities of today’s technologised world. By shifting scale, her artworks turn into almost existential exercises: what first feels overwhelming can become crystal clear up close, or surprisingly simple from a distance.

Through a poetic voice – sometimes blunt, sometimes tender – Polska reflects on the contradictions of our time: our ability to experience normality and love while man-made catastrophes unfold; the tension between mortality, decay, and the indifference that infiltrates daily routines.

Her first solo exhibition in The Netherlands titled Travels in scale places the visitor back in the role of observer. What position do we take, as individuals and as a collective? And how does the way we look shape how we act?

The exhibition is made possible by the generous loan from the artist and Lombardi—Kargl.
