in Xawery Deskur project:
Mother and Son
_2025
Photographs and films installation
Mother and Son examines the intimate, multilayered relationship between Marta Deskur and her adult son, Xawery Deskur. The artist intentionally withholds specific details, allowing viewers to uncover the work’s meanings gradually; revealing them in advance would weaken its performative structure and alter the emotional trajectory of its reception.
While the scenes are partially staged, the unfolding of events and the dialogues emerge through improvisation. This approach captures the delicate balance between construction and spontaneity, opening a space for genuine reactions that become a central component of the work’s form.
