You are my anchor point – Karol Sudolski
From 09/02/2022 to 12/03/2022
Seeyousound and Recontemporary present, on the occasion of the eighth edition of the festival, You are my anchor point, the first solo exhibition by visual artist Karol Sudolski. The anchor point, the center of gravity of a system of bodies, a point in three-dimensional space around which external forces of transformation act, a pivotal point of rotation, a focus of attention, an origin from which particles are born, fragments of textures dictated by aesthetics and apparent chaos. Video clips, works in augmented reality and photogrammetry create a scenario that is difficult to define, dominated by color and references to everyday life. A landscape that welcomes you in its paradoxical and dreamlike intimacy, but at the same time, as if it were an oxymoron, makes you lose all connection with real life, depriving you of your bearings. The same feeling of disorientation that you get when, upon awakening from a dream, you can’t find the right words to describe it.
The exhibition was organized in collaboration with Seeyousound Festival and with technical sponsors BenQ and Creative Cables Torino.
You are my anchor point is an archive of fragmented entities created through photogrammetry that come to life in an ethereal and strictly personal space, thus bringing out the artist’s vision. At the heart of the work is the deconstruction of the body which, reduced to a mere surface, pushes us to reconsider our concept of interior and exterior, individual and group, reality and representation.
Karol Sudolski
I was born in Poland, raised in the mountains of Northern Italy. I have been living in Milan for 10 years, since I enrolled at the Polytechnic of Milan. I never wanted to be an artist, nor deal with 3D. It's all due to accidents along the way. First the discovery of Photogrammetry, the poetic and alienating rendering of scanned human skin and the errors of digitalization of bodies. Music (starting from L I M to Mecna, up to MAHMOOD) allowed me to experiment and grow freely. Then, a second accident, Valentino's Instagram filter, opened the doors of AR to me. I like what I do because it feels like I'm playing with a mix of digital errors and images that years of MTV and video games have stuck in my brain.
