“Fragile Dreams” by Justyna Smoleń at Bunkier Sztuki

The “Fragile Dreams” exhibition at Bunkier Sztuki offered a unique chance to engage directly with the artist, Justyna Smoleń. This marks the first comprehensive solo presentation of the Kraków-based artist. The exhibition featured objects, sculptures, and installations created over the past five years. Justyna Smoleń works with everyday items: trinkets, broken dishes, figurines reminiscent of the communist era, shells, and even mugs and medals. These elements come together in intricate collages and ceramic compositions. It was well worth pausing to listen to the artist’s stories and to take a closer look at her work, which subtly reveals what usually remains unseen.
