 When
asked to describe myself I often half joke that “I am a mongrel,
a mixed breed.” Born and educated in
Poland, since my mid 20-ties working in the United States, recently “in
between”, I am a result of a few cultures, perfect in
neither. Coming from a family of philosophy
professors, even after I escaped studying philosophy at university,
unable to shake off its “rational bend”, I try to
explore the connections between the
visual and the abstract. Furthermore, varied directing experiences
(documentaries, narrative projects, video series, TV spots,
industrials) encourage me to experiment with mixing narrative and
documentary styles. The results clearly vary but I remain on my
professional, cultural and life “directing
quest.”
