Mariusz Wolny (b.1980) – an interdisciplinary artist working in the fields of installation, sculpture, photography and performance. He also initiates social projects and artistic interventions in urban space, seeking interaction with a random viewer.
Wolny encourages viewers to actively participate in the process, to interact and to challenge the established manners of reception.
His works reveal the paradoxes of everyday life, pose questions about man and his complicated relationship with the world and reveal problems of various social, political and cultural phenomena, often showing them in a distorting mirror.
Wooden elements-shreds, created in the process of execution of sculptures and left as waste in the studios of ten sculptors have been collected in this work to create a whole. The artwork restores the value of what is unwanted, rejected and worthless.
A trip/installation into the surreal world of dreams and mysterious visions. An invitation to the viewer to come into the author’s inner world, and become a part of the imaginary space, so that he can forget about what is outside.
The installation should be entered by a single viewer, alone. The scene is arranged like a strange, primitive ritual in which the viewer-participant gets lost amid huge furry figures, staring at the ardent fungus, surrounded by a luminous halo, surrounded with hypnotic sounds of frogs.
A large-scale installation – an ensemble of ceramic lamps in the shape of the atomic bomb „Little Boy” that was dropped on Hiroshima. The entire surface of the objects making up the installation is covered with hundreds of thousands of holes, made as a single puncture in the still fresh ceramics and fixed by firing. Symbolically they refer to the number of victims.
The title stems from fear that the energy of atom will be used again in a military conflict.
