Student exhibition.
The presentation of student work involves the display of four diplomas: The film Elements by Grzegorz Labuda was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Costume Design, School of Drama – Carnegie Mellon University, and is inspired by the author’s dreams and childhood memories. Artistic herstory – a portrait of an ancestor as an element necessary to build identity. Set design based on Virginia Woolf’s drama Fact, Fiction and Photography or What Happened in Freshwater by Anna Krajewska. Ksenia Dubiashchuk presents Passivity is flammable. Scenographic realization based on Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451, Lidia Gomez Herrera Performance inspired by Planets by Holst by Lidia Gomez Herrera. The last three were created under the direction of Professor Katarzyna Podgórska-Glonti and Dr Marta Wyszyńska. Each diploma is an individual story: about coming of age, the search for identity, the phenomena of current conflicts or universal values. Each of these voices of the younger generation of set designers is different, but equally important. Different attitudes using different media in narratives are part of the search for a redefinition of scenography today. The exhibition has been expanded to include presentation of projects by students of Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts Poznan Stage Design Department completed during classes and outside the university. The projects and realisations present a new perspective on the addressed scenographic issues.
