"Dream - spontaneous combustion"
Resin and soot (2008)
If you look around some of the most interesting contemporary art today, exquisite Gothic shadows are everywhere. Olaf Brzeski's installations take place between the poles set by the adherence to the classics and risky experiment, sculpture and drawing, monstrosity and attaining realism through the grotesque. In his "Dream - spontaneous combustion" the artist created a sooty, solid cloud of resin that marks the spot of a spontaneous combustion in one of the basements of an art school. For the artist "fire is nothing but change in the form of matter".
