About

Set within the depths of a cellar, this exhibition explores the delicate relationship between the body, matter, and ritualistic action. The starting point is a curious episode from the early 1980s, when Amon Fremon—a Haitian Voodoo priest associated with the circle of Jerzy Grotowski—arrived in Poland.

This project is not a reconstruction of that event. Instead, it treats it as an impulse—a trace of an action intended to influence reality through presence, gesture, and the physical form. The objects on display are crafted from raw materials like jute, canvas, and wood, echoing forms of expression that predate language. They speak to experiences that are felt long before they are named.

The audience is invited to move freely through the space, entering into an intimate relationship with the surroundings and the artifacts. It is not a history lesson. It is an attempt to see if a gesture can happen again.
