Marcin Limnowicz

As a freelancer, I often prioritise exhausting care work over artistic activity. I want to use the residency to strengthen the areas of my practice that need the most attention, and develop a more balanced plan of action, both artistic and professional. With the support of WOK, I would like to break this pattern, deepen my ability to observe and analyse dog behaviour, and make real progress in my research and artistic work. 

I am a video artist, researcher and graphic designer. I graduated from the Non-Linear Narrative programme at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, and I have also studied photography in Opava in Czechia and film production at the Łódź Film School. I was a scholarship holder at the Fabrica research and design centre in Italy. In my work, I combine the aesthetics of visual essays with field research and speculative techniques. Currently, I am exploring the relationships between humans and animals within the contexts of culture, domestication and care. I volunteer at an animal shelter, where I explore interspecies coexistence practices. Alongside Jakub Depczyński, I curated the experimental film review More-Than-Human Gaze at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. I co-founded the Spółdzielnia Krzak collective and the Krzak Papier magazine in the past. I took part in the 9th edition of VISIO – the European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images – as part of the Lo Schermo dell’Arte festival. My work is included in the collections of the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne and the Polyeco Contemporary Art Initiative in Athens.
