Angelika Markul

Born in 1977 in Szczcein, Poland. Lives and works between Warsaw, Poland and Paris, France.

Angelika Markul explores the relations between science and fiction in order to create myths out of her film installations. Her interest resides in documenting sites that are difficult to access, considered dangerous, or completely abandoned, like the region of Chernobyl, the city of Fukushima, or the grottos of the Naica Mine in Mexico. Time, memory, nature and humanity’s place in it are recurrent themes in her work. By plunging her viewers into fictional landscapes where the immensity of nature occupies a central place, she poses existential questions on humanity’s origins and purpose. Her approach is both documentary and metaphysical, questioning myths and ancestral stories.

She has had solo exhibitions at the Musée d’art et d’archéologie de Valence, France, 2023; Leto Gallery, Warsaw, 2023; Kewenig Galerie, Berlin, 2022; Centrum Gietdowe, Warsaw, 2022; Kunstverein Arnsberg, 2021; Galería Albarrán Bourdais, Menorca, 2021. Her group exhibitions include the Palais des expositions des Beaux-Arts, Paris, 2023; The Elemental, Palm Springs, California, 2022, 2023; and Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, Japan, 2021.
