“(...) The power source of Jessica Faiss’ work is a conspicuous eventlessness, which is highly unusual and capturing. She invites us on a journey with no apparent destination, and the simultaneously stagnant and changeable character of her films creates a hypnotic effect. Here, there is a movement between exterior action and interior processes that evokes a statement of contemplation. Her films create mental spaces with a tempo and a time that present an alternative to the state of affairs. Her works are places with a deeper and more quieting breathing.”

More information about the artists:

Krzysiek Cybulski is a bass player with a background in jazz composition and arrangement, but for quite a few years now he is into experimenting with digital sound processing in live context. From his experience in improvisation using traditional instruments, he developed his own live setup (based on Native Instruments REAKTOR custom patch), which allows him to improvise his live sets from scratch. He is still refining his setup, as well as his approach to music. Since 2008 he is a part of Warsaw Electronic Festival society.
