Michał Martychowiec (born 1987) is a contemporary artist. He creates conceptual series of photographs, films, drawings, neons, objects, and mix-media installations and environments.

Work

Martychowiec’s installations are characterised by intellectual and symbolic qualities and show his interest and involvement in history and anthropology of art. He uses their tradition to construct individual artistic language and narratives.

His practice sources ideas from philosophy (both oriental and occidental), history, history of art, history of religion, literature, contemporary culture and communication.

Another interesting facet of his work comprises documentary projects, in which the author creates his own narratives by photographing selected fragments of other artists’ works and using them as a basis for a mosaic of new contexts.


From 2007 Martychowiec has been creating number of topical photographic series, as well as video projections and extensive installations using diverse media: photography, film, drawing, installation, neon, objects.

From 2010, he has been working on various opera productions, creating installations, which are specific reinterpretations of time and space, and incorporate different media.
