Is It a Movie Or What?

The presentation of the exhibition Not a Movie at All by Wojciech Puś has been inspired by the concept of Expanded Cinema, significant both for visual arts and cinema. Developed mainly in 1970's, this term's roots go back to 1920's and avant-garde experiments in film production, media technology and performative art.

The exhibition of Wojciech Puś, employing methods used as part of the movement Expanded Cinema, aims to broaden the sphere of experiencing art. Its key aspect is introducing the viewer to the experimental cinema space, created at Bunkier Sztuki, which affects our different senses. The audience is placed in a structure subjected to transformations by artistic means and stage setting devices; a different reality. The artist has become a director; along the trail of our journey through the Gallery he places successive puzzles and creates para-narrative situations, difficult to interpret unequivocally.

Not a Movie at All is a reflection of each of us in the mirror of our own observations, imagination or expectations. The plot that develops in the exhibition keeps changing with each viewer; it is based on different, individual experiences. How will you complete the story?

Wojciech Puś (1978) lives and works in Lodz. He is a graduate of and lecturer in the Department of Photography & Television Production of the National Higher School of Film, Television and Theatre in Łόdź. His works can be found in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (Paparazzi 2013, Magic Hour 2013) and in Bunkier Sztuki in Krakow (Cinema 2013) as well as private collections in Poland, Germany and Italy.
