Monika Sosnowska (Ryki, 1972)

Sosnowska works with spaces and architecture; surfaces are her specific medium. Through the transformation of physical space into mental space, Sosnowska intervenes in the conditions that surround us by modifying them and playfully stimulating the perceptions of the spectator.

By multiplying the possibilities of obtaining dimensions that are usually predefined, Sosnowska remodels our sense of orientation. She avoids the logical movements inside a room, succeeding in creating confusion in our physical and visual expectations.

Consequently, her installations are transformed into spatial surroundings that can be experienced in very different ways: according to the observer, through time, determined by the circumstances and the place where the installation is located.

Sosnowska is interested in contrasts. She uses objects that are part of daily life, but they become different from common objects once we perceive the existence of a diversity between true reality and a distorted one. This makes the observer uncertain which reality he or she is living at that moment. The result is an often ironic comment on specificity and its borderlines, through the re-articulation of its most obvious limits, without dwelling upon any particular or defined message.
