Work realised at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow at the Intermedia Faculty in the Performance Art Studio, within the framework of the project entitled "m2".
„It all started with metal rods that began to come across me, during my walks through the streets of Tarnow. Ordinary metal rods, about 23cm long and 3mm wide. At first and for a long time afterwards, I didn't realise where they came from and why I kept encountering them on my path.... Years later, I discovered that they came from the street cleaner vehicles that lose them during the morning hygiene of the streets of my home town of Tarnow. In the meantime, I have collected quite a few of them. As part of the m2 project, I decided to make use of them and build an instrument that I called intuitive. Its construction is based on a concrete body, which I also found during my walks around Krakow.”
Extract from project description, M. Tryba, 2020.
In the second part of the project, I invited Krakow artists associated with the experimental music scene to collaborate. Its aim was to try to organise micro-concerts or audio performances on the scale of the titular one square metre. This metre was to become a kind of stage for artists who decided to take on this challenge. Important for the project was the fact of organising the events in the open space of the city of Krakow. The project was finalized with an audiovisual recording with a guest performance by Samuel Mynarski.
