Agnieszka POLSKA is a visual artist and film director based in Berlin. She employs computer-generated media to explore themes of individual agency, social responsibility, and the shaping of historical narratives within environments driven by rapid technological changes and the flow of information. Her work bridges the past and the digital present, using hallucinatory animations and poetic storytelling to delve into the ethical ambiguities of contemporary society.
In Birds in Space, Agnieszka POLSKA imagines a living being cast into the vast emptiness of space — isolated from its environment, without air, warmth, or the possibility of return. The bird becomes a boundary figure: a life form severed from the world that shaped it. Through this minimalist and unsettling vision, Polska evokes the fragility of existence when stripped of its ties — to the Earth, to others, to the systems that sustain it. It is a quiet thought on freedom, as a condition that cannot exist without connection.
