Wojciech Pus (Video Artist) Graduated from the Faculty of Cinematography, Animation and Special Effects
of the National Film School, Łódź, in 2004. Assistant to Professor Jozef
Robakowski at the National Film School in Łódź since 2004. In his video and
lighting projects, his main inspiration comes from the rhythm of nature. The
light and video installation 1. Garden (Outdoor) was shown during
The Time Loops group exhibition in Łódź and at the Łódź Art Museum
(during the Attention: LIGHT! exhibition as part of the arts project
and festival Jozef's R. Mirages), and it also forms the main part of
the set design in the production based on Yukio Mishima's play LINCZ
directed by Agnieszka Olsten for the National Polish Theatre in Wrocław. The
two-screen video installation 2. Romanticism was shown on twenty-four
hour loop at the National Polish Theatre in Wrocław. His latest work - the
abstract, non-linear video feature INSTANT (2008) - was shown at the
ENTROPIA Gallery in Wrocław (individual exhibition INSTANT
video and Polaroids), at the Leto Gallery in Warsaw (2009) and the gallery of
Stefania Pigi Vaselli and the Istituto Polacco in Rome (Transfert group
exhibition). After this month-long show, Emily Verla Bovino of London's
prestigious FRIEZE wrote: "Instant [...] is artist Wojciech Puś' visionary
account of Bauman's ‘liquid modernity': a hypnotic panorama of the still and the
fleeting, the patient waiting and the alert capturing behind each lived
moment..." Currently Wojciech Puś is working on his installation, light
and video based multimedia PhD Degree and his new video feature and installation
entitled 3. Ditto, ditto... He works in Poland's foremost theatres
as a lighting designer and video artist with some of the country's most
interesting directors (Agnieszka Olsten, Paweł Miśkiewicz and Marek Fiedor).
ALEKO. IOLANTA directed by Mariusz Treliński at the Mariinsky Theatre
marks Puś' debut in the opera.
