Krzysztof M. Bednarski

(b. 1953)
Sculpture, installation, object, video. The artist has a feel for three-dimensional objects that enables him to translate ideas into the form of sculpture. He returns obsessively to certain motifs such as the shape of Moby Dick or the head of Karl Marx, making use of their symbolic potential and on their basis creates new symbolic sequences. For many years he has worked closely with the cinema industry, designing posters and playing small film parts. He creates works inspired by film and has designed a number of monuments and tombstones of famous film directors.
