LAURA ADEL: Coalesce
interactive projection
window of The Match Gallery // until 14 June
OPENING: Friday, 23 May, at 9:30 p.m.
dance performances: every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m.

An interactive projection in the gallery window takes the shape of a classical portal, with its central part transformed into a projection surface. The projected video work is conceptualised as a fluid mass of shapes and textures, shifting into abstract visual schemes and in the interactive relationship with the viewer. In the visual field, only time remains uninterrupted, whilst bodily forms continuously return and re-emerge before the viewer in a persistent effort to transcend themselves. With the work, the artist explores how the visualisation of the viewer’s movement can, in turn, affect his or her movement in space.

Every Wednesday at dusk (at 9:30 p.m.) in cooperation with Dance Theatre Ljubljana a dance performance will take place, featuring a dancer Alja Lacković, who shall engage in a unique movement-based dialogue with the projection in front of the gallery window.

LAURA ADEL is a Polish interdisciplinary artist. In her work, she questions perception and explores new aesthetic paradigms. She creates various (light) installations, videos and objects, whereby her work, which won numerous awards at home and abroad, is based on the principles of organic abstraction, digitality and interaction. In addition, she has extensive experience in film production as an editor, producer and animator. She is doing doctoral studies at the Academy of Fine arts in Wroclaw.
