Ewelina

Reconstruction 2 follows the path of Ewelina (a citizen of Krzyzowa) on July 7, 2019 — moments before she will meet her future husband and fall in love –  moments before the event that will change her life. 

The photographic performance is part of larger inquiry in historical contingency, in events which happened but did not need to happen, that in the aftermath changed the course of personal and collective histories. The work thinks history as a field of contingency as opposed to history as teleological process, as chain of causes and effects bind by necessity, and is interested in the moments before the apparent necessity exists.
