When I was six years old my father took a photograph of me. Nearly fifty years later I returned to that image, brought it to life using AI, and made this short movie. The mirrored structure echoes my bi-collage method, where new forms emerge from reflection. A small meeting between two moments of the same life.

Cybinka / Ziebingen is a black-and-white film about a place with two names — and the memory held between them. Neither documentary nor fiction, the work moves through place as a physical archive: fragmented, haunted, and unfinished. The two names do not resolve into one history; they remain as a tension, a threshold, and a wound in time.

Built from the 1941 educational film How the Eye Functions, this work transforms instruction into hallucination. Detached from its original purpose, the footage becomes a study of perception, control, and the unstable border between observation and imagination. What do we really see- and what quietly watches back? Sound: Autechre -Bronchus 2 #experimentalmovie #videocollage #foundfootage #artfilm #autechre #contemporaryart #movingimage #olgaszulc

A film woven from fragments: memory, scraps of footage, matter, and traces of life. A flower, a table, a body, rain, fire, darkness - images appear as remains, touched by time, without forming a linear story. The soundtrack is also fragmentary, including a passage from Carlo Gesualdo’s Sesto libro di madrigali: XVII. Moro, lasso, al mio duolo. A small visual rite: a body remembered through matter, passing through fire without being consumed.

In this video, I meet my father at the age of 24. In 1974, when I was born. Using AI, I animated his photo, bringing him to life. I narrate a dialogue between past and present, where fragments of memory collide with raw energy of church bells and collage. This is not a polished tribute but a confrontation with identity and the passage of time. It’s a reflection on how two lives intersect and resonate across decades, rejecting perfection for something far more real.

It is a piece that pays homage to two creative dynamos—conceptual artist John Baldessari and the South African jazz group Batsumi. This video is a conversation between their worlds, where Batsumi’s rich, rhythmic soundscape adds pulse and vibes to the colorful Baldessari’s work. P.S. It was tough six days. So, I added Sunday.

Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the Gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest Sea; Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb of me. – Emily Dickinson A poetic and surreal journey into the realms of observation and connection, ELSEWHERE blends visual symbolism with introspection. Through ethereal landscapes, a cosmic eye, and the graceful silhouette of a hummingbird, this experimental film explores themes of life, perspective, and the delicate threads that bind us to the unknown.

Water holds what words cannot. It remembers without needing to speak. In Polish, the word for water — woda — is feminine. This film is her: a presence in the tide, a question in the current, a trace that doesn’t vanish but drifts. All figures in the film are composed from images in the public domain collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Set to Cal Tjader’s O Barquinho (Little Boat), Little Boat (SHE) moves through the fluid space between memory and disappearance, between letting go and quietly seeking.

A vibrant exploration of identity, this work weaves together my beloved elements: polka dots, stripes, and a striking palette of black, white, red, and sapphire. The interplay of patterns and colors creates a dynamic visual narrative, reflecting my affinity for bold contrasts and rhythmic design.

A striking fusion of a Christmas ornament and an Easter egg, suspended in a cathedral, resonating with the timeless chime of a bell.
