Konrad Smolenski works easily in many different areas of art, mostly in video, installations and performance. Although it seems hard to find common ground in that variety of works, the element that unites them is unstoppable energy of the artist, energy that fulfills in his almost physical engagement and in requirements that he puts on the audience.
In his films Smoleński is distinguished by his predilection to manipulate the picture and by attention that he pays to the audio part. Often he starts with found footage, taken from an existing film or original home videos, he also uses his own films taken with 8mm camera. All of his films have rich soundtrack, usually made by separate music compositions. Each video shows deep awareness of medium, its substance and virtuosity of artist.

Smoleński enjoys both anarchic destruction and mastery of refine details, what place him and his audience in front of dangerous entertainment.
