  • An astronomical illustration depicting the elliptical orbit of the exoplanet J1407b with a massive ring system around the star J1407. The diagram also shows the orbits of potential exomoons, including the hypothetical “J1407b I,” which orbits within a gap in the rings.
  • A surrealist illustration in dark tones depicting a figure wearing sunglasses, with tattoos on their face and a hand holding a firearm that resembles a bone or a stone.
  • A close-up of the rough, sand-and-concrete texture of the sculpture, within which a shiny, brown snail shell is placed. The background is blurred.
  • A row of ripening tomatoes and cucumbers arranged on a wooden shelf in a sunlit greenhouse.
  • A vertical, surrealist composition in shades of deep blue and navy blue.
  • Edward Dwurnik’s painting depicts a row of dogs shown in profile, sitting against the backdrop of a gray, textured wall. In the center of the background is a handwritten blue inscription reading “SOLIDARNOŚĆ,” with a small flag above one of the letters. The entire composition is rendered in an expressive, cool color palette dominated by shades of gray, blue, and brown.
  • The painting depicts two dark-skinned figures with geometric tattoos or face paint, shown in unnatural poses against a solid violet-blue background. The figure on the left wears a coral-colored outfit, and the figure on the right wears a light pink dress with a white collar. Floating between and around them are symbols of Western consumer culture: a bottle of whiskey, a glass with ice, a pack of Camel cigarettes, a radio, and a small dog on a leash.
  • The oil painting depicts a view from inside a car, showing a city street through the vehicle's windshield and side window.
  • A black-and-white still from the film “My Winnipeg.” A woman and a man in winter clothing stand in a snowy landscape, from which the frozen heads of horses protrude.

A figure dressed in black stands with her back to the viewer in a bright, minimalist interior at the junction of two illuminated staircases. The architecture forms a geometric, diamond-shaped frame around her.
The photo shows a palm tree-shaped sculpture filmed from below. The central trunk and the branches radiating from it have a rough, sandy texture. The background is uniform and light in color.

Planet Piniak: The literary in the work of Piniak Przemysław

Piniak’s complete writings—not much more than a dozen short stories, one dramatic piece, several film scripts, audio shows, and “spoken” performance acts, uncollected notes, and recorded dreams—would make an average-sized volume, neither thin nor a tome. It is a non-existent volume, although perfectly imaginable.

The Ethical Choices of Surrealists

The one significant absence from the exhibition is Salvador Dalí. It was he who cemented in the collective imagination the image of surrealism as a dreamlike vision, a Freudian puzzle presented with almost photographic literalness. We see relatively little of this kind of surrealism in the exhibition “In the Very Bowels of Changes.” For the exhibition’s focus is not on style, nor even on an artistic movement in the strict sense. Rather, it is about a certain attitude.
