Jarosław Solecki’s solo exhibition Imponderabilia brings together installation, video and sculpture in an environment shaped by division, passage and the relationship between body, matter and space. Rather than presenting objects to be viewed from a fixed position, the exhibition asks visitors to move through a shared spatial structure. Its meaning unfolds as perspective, distance and the position of the body change.
The exhibition takes its starting point from Marina Abramović and Ulay’s performance Imponderabilia, translating its questions into a different medium and context. Here, the experience of crossing a threshold and negotiating one’s position in relation to the work and to other people is developed through a multi-part sculptural installation and moving image.
Wood is central to the exhibition, not as a neutral material but as an active participant in the artistic process. Its weight, grain, growth rings and accumulated history shape each intervention. Lines, cuts and splits expose the material’s internal structure and create a tension between imposing form and following what is already present within it.
Found objects and reused natural materials extend this enquiry towards the contemporary relationship between people and nature. Without becoming a direct ecological manifesto, the exhibition considers the responsibility carried by an artistic gesture: how matter may be transformed and given new meaning while its own structure is respected.
The physical presence of wood and sculptural objects is set against the mediated character of video. This encounter between organic matter and digital imagery draws attention to the difference between immediate and technologically mediated experience, and to the ways contemporary tools alter our contact with nature, space and our own bodies.
At the centre of Imponderabilia is the fissure—not only as a sign of rupture, loss or absence, but as an opening and a place of transition. A split separates, yet also makes reconnection possible. In the space between divided parts, something previously hidden can become visible.
The exhibition forms the visual centre of the first edition of Literature in the Visual Field. Readings, performances and conversations will take place within the installation, responding to its material and spatial presence while remaining a supporting layer of the wider exhibition experience.
Literature in the Visual Field
The programme was developed through an open call for literary and performative contributions, which is now closed. The call invited writers and performers to enter into dialogue with the installation through text, voice, sound and moving image.
The first edition of Literature in the Visual Field is supported by a £500 grant from the Polonia Aid Foundation Trust (PAFT), helping bring together artists, writers and audiences within the exhibition space.
