IMAGO MVNDI (2001/2002, CIF DivX, 7,15)

IMAGO MVNDI is the first known to me Polish digital & structural film where layer of material was put as the subject. Coding/decoding errors it contains video files -- so today called as data moshing, and errors in the definition interlace in video that has been used as a deliberate visual effects. Layer of contents provides a sort of private prayer, connecting issues of territorial and spiritual identity, which was so simple and devoid of irony expression was rejected by me in subsequent works of art because of the possibility of overusing the various nationalist movements. the film was pushed to the margins as dangerous, but an intimate spiritual adventure in which the religious syncretism is poured into the form of Catholicism, and attachment to territory. Film was inspired by works of Stan Brakhage that I read about only in Ryszard W. Kluszczynski book (Film, Video, Multimedia).
