Ubu – Performance von Krzysztof "Leon" Diemaszkiewicz im Rahmen der Ausstellung "Phantome" von Dominik Lejman

In the organizer's words:

"Ubu" is a performance by Krzysztof "Leon" Diemaszkiewicz (*1963 in Poland), a performer and visual artist who lives in Berlin.

He began his career in the early 1990s in Gdansk, Poland, as a dancer and choreographer at the Teatr Ekspresji. In 1995 he founded his own company "Read my lips theater". Since 1998 he has lived and worked mainly in Berlin and Gdansk. His art has been presented in the USA, France, Germany, Turkey, Brazil, Canada, Italy and many other countries.

The aim of Dziemaszkiewicz's transgenic and transsexual work is to combine opposites and pose questions about the boundaries between animality and humanity.

About the exhibition "Phantoms" by Dominik Lejman:

Polish artist Dominik Lejman has been chasing ghosts for three decades. His works combine video images with abstract painting and are populated by revenants, phantoms that blur time and the present. Lejman's art oscillates between revelation and repulsion, fall and elevation, Elysium and dungeon. During the Epiphany season, the apparition time of the liturgical year, she reflects on human existence with humor, doubt and despair and poses questions about presence, responsibility and the experience of the absurd.

For three decades, Polish artist Dominik Lejman has been on a ghost hunt. His works fuse video imagery with abstract painting and are briefly inhabited by revenants and phantoms that blur time and presence. Lejman's art oscillates between revelation and repulsion, fall and ascent, Elysium and dungeon. During Epiphanytide-the season of manifestation in the liturgical year-it reflects the human condition with humor, doubt, and despair, posing questions about presence, responsibility, and the experience of the absurd.
