The starting point for the exhibition is the phenomenon of overloaded memory on devices and virtual clouds. The title was borrowed from an online article where the reference to hell, seems to be a legitimate association in the context of futuristic visions of a digitized world.
In view of the advancing digital revolution, the works presented from different perspectives show states of expanded imagination, which is suspended between human and non-human experience. Hence the observations of alienation or hybridity, the search for human-machine-nature relations.
The exhibition is a story about methods of preserving memory, and thus also about spiritual memory, inheritance, and the transmission of information and symbols to the next generation. The former bank building houses works whose aesthetics often blur the touch of technology with the traditional mediums. The artists explore the phenomena of dream registration, create visions of non-existent historical places and traces of lost connections.
The event will be accompanied by a performance titled If I was a stone, I would wear myself by Jagna Nawrocka and Bartosz Jakubowski in a somatic dialogue with sculptures by Wiktoria.
