Creative guided tours (with dialogue)
Decorative Interior Elements
-
Everyday life — around the concepts of beauty and ugliness
- Decorative Interior Elements are a story about seeking balance in a world that is losing stability – about care that begins with one’s immediate surroundings, about decorating that stems from the need for solace, and about the attempt to regain wellbeing. In Dominika Olszowy’s work, personal and emotional motifs return, while at the same time addressing universal themes of existential tension, fears, and doubt.
-
The exhibition features, among other things, video works rooted in post-internet aesthetics and spatial installations composed of the artist’s sculptures. Olszowa most often works with simple, everyday materials, giving them new meaning and transforming them into elements of a surreal narrative – balancing between fantasy and a subtle nightmare. Her exhibitions are materialized images in which individual objects form a narrative guided by the logic of theatrical imagination. The familiar yet surreal atmosphere of the exhibition makes visitors feel as if they are in a world that is strangely familiar, yet completely detached from reality.

- The meeting is conducted in a dialogue-based format – participants, together with the facilitator, look closely at selected works, sharing their reflections and interpretations. The conversations cover the formal aspects of the works, their cultural and social significance, as well as the associations brought in by the participants.
-
The aim of the guided tour is to develop aesthetic sensitivity, critical thinking skills, and to create a space for sharing thoughts and emotions around the themes of wellbeing, the search for balance, and calm in the world. Participants discover that what is difficult, unpleasant, or repelling can evoke strong reactions and become an important tool for describing reality.

- The course of the meeting is arranged individually before the visit, so that it corresponds to the group’s level and interests..
