Land(e)scape Installation

Erwina Ziomkowska received a master's degree in painting from Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, Poland. "I create objects and temporary installations. Women`s garments and several pairs of shoes all pinched with a huge amount of pins, skulls so fragile that with every touch they may break, swing with additional ballast, paper punctured with a pin/knife, neons, some books, this is all what I need to create my works. Very characteristic is the extremely minimalist way of acting, boiled down the simple, by design, repetitive activities i.e.: grooving, threading, puncturing, scratching, etc. Despite the extreme intensity of work it is very difficult to notice in the completed objects, even a shadow of the passing expression, which is now replaced with entirely purified forms, reminding us more of a picture of sterile cool beauty than a record of human feelings and emotions."
