Patrycja Plich Patrycja Plich graduated in Intermedia from the University of Arts in Poznań in 2016.

Her projects, aptly enough, are situated on the junctures of media, particularly where it enables her to exploit the unique qualities and capacities of the word and direct encounter with the audience. Her undertakings are set in the human environment which is subject to constant material and semantic transformation that spans multiple dimensions - from geopolitical to interspecies ones. She works in various geographical contexts with the issue of migration and trajectories of human behaviors. The meaning of the territory is the unifying point of her works.

The topography of places that are yet to come Drawing series, various drawing medias, various sizes, part of Wanderland platform project, 2019-ongoing

Completed in residency project with companion of 2 other artists: Alice Hamon Lorraine Thomas The project is focused on developing the logic and organization of space which was the issue of a series of small drawings presented during the first exhibition in Emprise (Acte 1). One particular drawing from the series The Topography of places that are yet to come became a starting point to reflect upon the notion of the shared territory where multidimensional social and art connections appear. The experience of blowing up the drawing on a larger surface complemented well Lorraine’s and Alice’s ludic approach of space, time and visual ambiguity.

By working together, our individual practices based on the meaning of the territory (outdoor installations, different geographical contexts and studio based work) was naturally challenged in shared territory of the Emprise – the open surface for mutual artistic exchange.

In the introduction to his essay on the imagination of the movement “Air and Dreams” Gaston Bachelard writes: “If there is no change of images, unexpected union of images, there is no imaginative action. If a present image does not make one think of an absent image, if an occasional image does not determine a profusion of aberrant images, an explosion of images, there is no imagination. “ This is how new trajectories are taking shape with the work of Patrycja Plich who, during a short residency at Emprise, creates a new topography of imagined possible places, inspired by his drawings exhibited during the opening exhibition Emprise / Act 1. citation: Lorraine Thomas

The topologies of totality Site-specific text installation, 12 texts pieces, video, embroidered fabric pieces Karazin University, Residents of the Universe program, YermilovCentre, 2019 The project in process is a reference to the history of Karazin University as an architectural assumption, its character of construction and functioning structure. The centrifugal point is the main hall located on the ground floor of the building. Its mirror construction (two identical parts located on two sides of the main entrance) is a space to reflect on the duality of perception. As a space between, a transient and temporary place, associated with movement but also waiting, led me to reflect on the importance of how the building stores information.

The history of the University is not a history of walls, as architecture it retains its function, it is a refuge for the science. I am interested in stories of people, a direct meeting, and even a minimal influence on people passing by this space.

Conducting research and observations of this space, I am not able to directly communicate with everyone, so I leave a fraction of what I have come up to so far, I create contact, the possibility of distorting the common use of this space.

The title of the project indicates interest in the issue of totality, a view of all changes and processes occurring in this space. My interests concern how architecture determines the way of being in it. The modernist assumption of the structure became the starting point.

The text is in places that I considered the least tamed by passers-by, are slightly hidden and not obvious. The text itself in a metaphorical way speaks about our behaviors of staying in different spaces. Other references appearing in the text are the motif of the written word itself, how we remember it, how we combine it with spatial memory. The text is also basically an auto-narrative representation of my initial inquiry process.

„Is there a trash big enough for a big delete?”*

The time loop has become a bait. We have all ended up in the Trap.

The surroundings of the Trap only seemingly grant us a sense of safety.

The truth is, the nature extended in human creation is poisoning the entire ecosystem. Certain signs of reactive activity that occur in the Trap are sometimes fortunate and quite often can bring hope. But let’s not fool ourselves. The time is not our ally here. We are part of a machine driven by a system of dependencies between what goods we need and who and how provide them. The actual construction has been deconstructed in a process of its creation. What happened to it, is what we had dreamt for to happen with an entire overproduction of plastic. In a split second, in a suspended moment „from today”, it is clearly visible now, how much we were wrong.We can only wish for a comfortable end.

It is crucial for us to consider aspects of time in terms of the ongoing climate change. The ubiquitous rustling, fluttering wind, useful and wasted materials (intently hidden from the public view) are brought to the fore here. Plastigomerate layers have wrapped around the Earth. We wished for a comfortable life is based on a process of transformation of work Pułapka zdarzeń (The Trap of Events) created during the exhibition Znamy się, a nawet lubimy (We know each other and even like each other) at BWA Zielona Góra in 2018.

We make our own decisions, and yet we are in a wider circle of connections between what large corporations supply us with and what we pursuit based on our expectations. We have a limited impact on global issues.

In this paradox, we find the basis to present the crucial points of the whole problem.

Being in a state of crisis, we are aware, that changes must start at „the top” – where it all began. Art will not be a remedy for an environmental crisis. However, it has the potential to raise awareness and tame with the consequences of consumption process.

Plastigo 2019-ongoing, cooperation with Souad Mani, Christophe Galatry, Philippe Autric; general idea: Patrycja Plich, Christophe Galatry, association Par ce passage, infranchi...

Research-based, walking oriented and complex social project situated in industrial zone in south of France Plastigo is a transmedia project. It is based on three spots representative of a territorial complexity around the Gulf of Fos industrial zone. Collective creation of artists develops modalities of terrestrial installations associated to the issue of plastiglomerate. The plastic installations and observer are connected by their presence in-situ. The other point of view is possible by digital streaming that uses digital soil and air measurements as well as vertical video recordings by drone. Plastigo questions these territories from the ghosts of the Anthropocene and fossil industries, revealing plots of landscapes abandoned by the technostructure implanted here for decades.

The whole project is divided into parts of preparation, co-working activities of four international artists with specific skills supporting the project.

In the research part we stimulate the search of dialogues with the inhabitants of the surrounding areas, the fishermen, the employees of the factories around the spots. Third, official part is a presentation in-situ, open visits in all spots. Website equipped with measurements and data is the summarizing part that opens the project for further duration and shows the research continuity. The project is an inquiry into the Anthropocene era.

Research / artistic tools: walks, field studies visual records (forographs, videos, drawings) establishing cooperation with the local community and city authorities guided tour visual objects - sculptures, installations records kept on the website The entire working mode is accompanied by the TeĂŠtrodon residential program, a hub for the Plastigo project development. https://saufterritoires.tumblr.com

Wanderland platform 2016–ongoing, different medias, socio-artistic platform of mutual activites with local migrants on the meaning of the territory,

The Global Art of Mixing –continental drift – human drift – nomadic man of speed in chains of his feet – Liberated Map – New Geography

The whole process is based on the idea of free wandering – discovering and experiencing reality beyond systemically established boundaries. It’s an issue of border places – places between places (disputed territories) and places between meanings (transcultural communities). The project reflects on question how in this context present multi-layered society can emerge. The social space undergoes constant translation.

Here it is referred to an issue of landmark and its double meaning, both in the geopolitical and metaphorical sense – understood as a turning point. This is a metaphor for building new concepts defining a complex drifting society – systemically entangled, but also offering bottom-up alternatives.

The main geographical references for the Wanderland platform are: Wanderland platform is a long-term cycle of activities that widely map out the existence of transcultural communities in different geopolitical contexts. The threads taken up in here have their origin in the history of the African Center in Poznan (Poland) in the 1990s. The project follows the impact of the African Center’s activities on the possibility of building an inclusive society that creates a cross-border connections.

Poznań (history and extension of the African Center) Marseille (a buffer place between Europe and Africa) Dakar (research and cooperation with local creators)

The platform includes: So far 3 films made (From Poland with Love, Translantic, Mirrored landscapes), a series of drawings and graphics, Wanderland issue (2 editions released), cooperation with 3 artists in Poznań, a series of workshops and research work. Activities are currently being continued with artists from Marseille, Poznań and Dakar.

Geographical space is subject to constant translation. Variability of the human loci generates new contexts for the politics and identity to morph and unfold. Settling-in becomes a process of identification in a place, while identity itself remains unsettled in that it is open to novel dependencies generated by the place and the modes of relating to it. The fluxes, however, make it possible to embrace new kinds of identification. The departures and the returns, relocations, the forced and the voluntary changes determine our belonging to a social context.

By drawing on the individual and collective psychogeographies, one can develop new structures through which our modes of co-being in the world can be comprehended and constituted. Identification occurring at the juncture of strangeness and belonging becomes a topography of places yet to come.

Patrycja Plich’s Wanderland project is centred around the issue of migration.

Among other things, her work has yielded a platform which is both an open archive of migration and a place to undertake joint action, consisting in continuous exchange of knowledge and experiences associated with the change of one’s abode. This refers both to the volatile urban tissue and the human stories of arrivals, returns and familiarization.

It is a place where individual components of an action achieve their final form, while others venture out into the future, re-connecting and re-engaging persons already associated with the platform.

The exhibition shows the works of the artist and the outcomes of the project’s collective undertakings.

Connectimacy, dimensions 2x2 m, digital print on fabric, 2019

Wanderland platform: Local connections In cooperation, a series of canvases was created - blankets / bedspreads / sheets, the visual side of which relates to the experience of settling in and building one’s own identity outside the home soil. The form itself is intended for sharing - space and time, being together, and creating a place for dialogue. The object - on the one hand for public use, and on the other in its form sheets also refers to the private and intimate sphere, thereby grading the spectrum of human insight into the essence of the migration experience. At the same time, some of the canvases (made of thick, banner material) also refer with their structure to various forms of temporary construction, so it opens in itself to various circumstances that can happen between. Mutual protection, an invitation to co-exist and to share their displacement stories, as well as the functionality of the objects beyond exhibition boundaries, were the main motives accompanying the implementation.

Connectimacy, dimensions 2x2 m, digital print on fabric, 2019

Connectimacy Public and private space, division and reconnection mean sharing yourself between places and people. The meeting, which results from political conditions, made from decisions or is forced by the beginning. The complexity of the relationships of human connections is explained in the form of a diagram of statistical data superimposed on the map of individual, private and intimate stories. We leave the old and find new places. The anthropology of loneliness is when sometimes a person leaves a person, creates and sets himself against.

I invited three artists to work with me. The situation happens in the apartment, a space to tame, and in the context of the residence acting as a temporary haven for artists.

Buffer zones allow creating networks of connections, mutual locations being closer.

Facilities for meeting and sharing space together. The assumption originating from the design of the sheet belonging to the intimate sphere has become a building block here to create situations and objects that multidimensionally provoke to divide space. They can be used in many ways depending on the needs, conditions and circumstances. In the exhibition space, they are constantly wandering to reveal the layers that make up the contemporary dimensions of migration.

Wanderland platform: Three documents about the relations between places:

From Poland with Love, video, 30 mins, 1998-2019 Archive materials: Marie Delahousse The film consists of materials recorded in the 90s. by Marie Delahousse - a Frenchwoman who at that time worked at the Institute of Latin Languages ​​of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. She observed the activities of the African Center existing in Poznań at the time, as well as the lives of people associated with it. The narrative includes interviews with Polish women who were in relationships with Africans. The structure of the film captures two perspectives - Poznań in the 90s and the present time and their ways of looking at the phenomenon of broadly interpersonal political relationships, but also emotionally confronted with the general social and economic situation of Poznań in the 90s.

Film is edited by Patrycja Plich and became a starting point for new footages in reference to migrations and transcultural communities recorded by her in Marseille and Senegal.

Videos available here:

From Poland with Love

Translantic, video in loop, 8 mins, 2019 Dakar - the capital of Senegal lies on the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean itself is a local capacious symbol. Without looking for each of its local meanings, it became the carrier of the country’s history for me, and in contemporary terms an opportunity - a forked path on all sides that returns the present and future of possible migration histories - human migration, meanings and goods. Transit areas are often connected with the port nature of flows. Containers, buoys that are border points and the sea borders themselves pass or pass through people, machines and objects conditioned by political and economic possibility of passage / access. The flowing translation of the Ocean.

Translantic

Mirrored landscapes, video in loop, 13 mins, Polish and French, no subtitles, 2019

Meetings on the other side, where it turns out that between blurs the border. The places are opposite each other. The meeting is the first stage of the connection. The film, by intention of a documentary, spreads its form by abolishing its objectives, focusing on returning to the often fleeting theme of the first meeting - direct delight with another person. The fragmentary stories of the people depicted are the beginning to deepen the relationship, to open the way of knowledge. Depriving the language of the translation film creates a space for dialogue, is an invitation to agreement, a return to the basics of communication and encouragement to start mediation. The footage is also a fragment of the next stage of the Wanderland platform, which will focus on creating a network of human connections where the buffer point is Marseille.

Mirrored landscapes

Wanderland platform: workshops Implemented as part of the Residency Program at ZAMEK Culture Centre (March-June 2019)

The topography of places that are yet to come The workshop was an opportunity to meet in a joint action exploring the issue of integration and sharing of social space. They were based on working with the map - an individually created space to explore the local environment. Referring to the issue of psychogeography as a factor building our attachment to the place, participants watched how they found themselves in the space of their choice (in Poznań, place of origin, in their connection or in a completely imagined place).

The maps here are not only a presentation of the geography of the selected reference point, but a complex structure capturing collective and individual memory, with particular emphasis on the migration experiences of participants.

The variety of places - archive Workshop work in various places (different geographical realities) focuses on building forms of an alternative migration archive. The main points of reference here are motives for travel and settlement, temporariness and settling. I study how the place where we live stores information? How does he keep track of previous residents? How do we remember ourselves and what form do we give it? What do we leave behind in the next places we visit?

The workshop is divided into two parts: conceptual manual work on visual representations of the alternative migration archive and researchfield walks mapping manifestations of the existence of multi-threaded communities at place (until now executed in Poznań and Marseille).

Semiotic freedom The workshop focuses on the concept of freedom in the context of speech.

How we express openness, readiness to meet, incorporate new entities into our area and give them equal status as a member in building a community? How do we express enabling messages? Where do we meet them and how do we want to manifest them? Can art deal with various forms of inclusion? We are working on a new dictionary of terms capturing the rapid transformation of values ​​anchored in the idea of ​​a broad understanding. The word, being the starting point for reflection maps the relationships that are associated with finding in the desired unified society.

In the history relay, the “global nostalgia epidemic” took over the baton after (gradually but continuously globalizing) the “epidemic of progress fever”.

Zygmunt Bauman, Retrotopia (2017)

Technological progress is no longer a guarantee of prosperity. Technology has long overtaken civilizations and has gradually taken over the minds of people, changing the way we experience being different. The next level of technological development can bring us more worries and worries than real benefits. It all makes you feel that the future is no longer a dream.

Event trap installation, pvc tubes, string, video projection, sound material, presented during collective exhibition at BWA Zielona Góra, Poland, 2018 curator: Julianna Kulczyńska

The exhibition We know each other and even like each others was the starting point for the exhibition We wished for a comfortable life.

The most important issues for us in the installation was the issue of time and progress of matter determinate by thoughts. Through it, we’ve created self-narrative text and the narrative path about finding ourselves in a multitude of events, materializing creativity and universalizing the process in getting to the bottom of form by visualizing their meanings. When we decided to cooperate further, it became natural for us to process the exhibition. Reflections on the total of events included in the first joint implementation have been transformed by us into visualization of a fragment of time in situ. The deconstruction of the first work enabled dematerialization of the past and the present.

Awakening room installation, book, lightbox, 2018 Museum Night in Poznań, office building under renovation, 2018.

The project made during the Night of Museums in Poznań is a presentation of the book Higher Order Understatement created during the Sorry, we have no rooms available residency at the Zakarpattia Hotel in Ukraine. It occurs here in a system with the light installation, Here, in this eccentric loneliness, as well as notes continuing the keynote of both concepts.

The idea of ​​the juxtaposition was to transfer the experience of “being in between”, which is referred to in the question sheet on “Where are you today?”, “Où es-tu aujourd’hui?”. The use of several languages ​​ indicates the possibility of rapid displacement and translation of cultural codes regarding our presence, belonging, but also nostalgia that this multidirectionality may be burdened with. The bed - one of the most intimate spaces, in the context of the original theme of the hotel, becomes a rotational, temporary place, occupied by individual human stories only for a moment. The question evokes, indicates distance, admonishes. However, the bed and layered sheets also show the process, refer to the work itself, become an alternative office space, where concepts arise, where one can be in his “eccentric loneliness”.

Open Time Museum series of drawings, graphics and photographs, various techniques, 2016-ongoing.

The project is a visual research on time structures observed in the environment. It is an approach to geological, natural and man-made systems.

Observing various places to which I regularly return, I collect specimens of images, shots of the moment. I transform them into abstract forms, play with their structure in place (drawings in natural space), and finally create a record of time - observation. The visual diary aims to create a foundation for the objects and situation of the exhibition, where architecture connects with natural space.

I also take up the subject of “black ecology� - observation and unclear fascination with changes in the structure of the environment created by humans (abandoned places, mines, waste, pollution).

Here, in this eccentric loneliness Miopia Project / Malta Festival Poznań / instalation in a public space / Passport Office window / Malta Foundation / lightbox / 100x50x40 cm/ 2016 The project is a reflection on the presence of feelings and emotions in public space and all natural human reflexes resulting by the surrounding reality. In the urban space co- exist different areas of human activity there is the abili- ty to create a constructor for dialogue the emergence of new ideas. According to a new key for the reality in which we try to exist, and that together we produce we should seek to build these communication platforms. Phrase used in the lightbox is a stimulus to reflection. Placing it in a site of Malta Foundation building and in the window of Passport Office is a symbolic bridge, dialogue and con- nection, which can become sign that agreement and com- mon action leading to an extended future which is possible.

Ideas Secretly Cherished (the Journey Through Relative Times)

Site specific installation, book presentation, various media, 2016.

The subject of implementation by Ideas secretly cherished project (the journey through relative times) is an auto-narrative path in the context of one’s own actions. The whole is put into the form of an alternative archive of experiences, actions, reflections and mental experiments related to the concept of time, undertaken for two and a half years.

The whole of the juxtaposed elements creates a spatial map of the process capturing the multidirectional relationships between individual points, connecting with each other according to the idea of ​​the rhizome’s operation. Attention is paid here to working time, using time and wasting it, losing and recovering. Above all, however, the moments in between are captured, the narrative lateral path of the creative process and the question about what is the essence for the recipient and the creator - at what point does the work occur, and thus “make time”?

Update error HD video, 25 minutes, 2016 “Update error� is a video essay that looks into the concept of being up-to-date in the context of constantly changing world we live in. In the centre of this reflection there is a human; his environment and the tools he may use to develop and explore his surroundings.The work builds on the convention of a nature film in which one creation, a computer, is being examined in the context of the impact human activities have on our surroundings.The film touches upon the issues of of black ecology, technological development and politicization of almost every sphere of human life. The narration itself follows a specified pattern which, at the semantic level, brings together both the natural history and the history and structure of the programming language.

Neon light object, dimensions 120x20 cm, 016 Miopia Project / Malta Festival Poznań instalation in a public space Raczyńskich Library in Poznan Our eyes and minds are subject to a process of accom- modation, habits and anesthesia on what is display- ed on the screens. Also in the reality non-screen we started to look through frames, memes, screenshots and afterimages. Through this imprinting often we lose the ability to capture the natural details, viewing phenomena. Increasingly, we screwed up our eyes.

Kobalt migrating platform Founded together with Marta Węglińska in 2018

Kobalt migrating platform is an initiative aimed at supporting creative development through art and joint activities. We are a duet of artists (Marta Węglińska and Patrycja Plich) involved in the research based process in frame of art projects. We focus on topics related to nature perception, urban structure research and ecology, transhumanism. Working in the duet, we combine our personal artistic experiences to search for new solutions within education. Until now, we have carried out researches and projects in Poland in the institutions of culture, art and design and the reportage institute.

Ultimately, we want to create activities that emphasize that art is a connecting point that serves to exchange experiences between people. We create projects that make the artistic process visible. We are interested in overcoming the hegemony of the individual, and moving towards group-building messages in the field of art. We would like our initiative will be characterized by dynamism and changeability. It is natural for us to work in a travel mode, learn about new cultures and verify how the workshops transform. We want to expand our activities by establishing cooperation with cultural researchers.
