Agatha Kosobucki and Maxim Gregorek have designed a sculpture as part of a project at the HfbK Hamburg.
The sculpture has a square shape, with Zajadacz's returned materials adhering to it. The transparent glass cube gives the impression that the returned parts are floating in the air. The lettering "You belong" implies an interrelationship between the returned materials and the people who were in contact with them in the context of their work. The person thus becomes part of the artwork. Following this metaphor, we humans also have negative memories or experiences attached to us, analogous to the returned parts. We need to deal with these in order to make room for something new and positive. - Without dealing with our past, there is no future
Agatha Kosobucki
"My artistic interest is dedicated to the cognitive dissonance in social structures and institutions. Questions about how we live together are part of my research and influence the choice of materials I use, which mainly come together in installations. Through my previous training as a visual marketing designer, I developed an interest in multimedia techniques, whereupon I specialized in the field of "time-related media" at the HFBK in Hamburg, where I completed my Bachelor of Arts. Parallel to art, I am studying for a Master's degree in Education for the Blind and Visually Impaired at the University of Hamburg and am working on bringing the two disciplines together."
Maxim Gregorek
Maxim Gregorek, born in Hanover in 1994, is a mixed-media artist, theater maker and author and studies art at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg.
In his work, Maxim Gregorek explores themes of identity and related questions: Where do we come from? Where do we want to go? The focus is on the human being, who is both producer and consumer and thus shapes and constantly reshapes identity. The individual is the product of their history, the actor of their present and the creator of their future.
