The fifth episode of the film series Solo Show, dedicated to the most interesting contemporary visual artists and artists, introduces the work of Wojciech Bąkowski. Bąkowski is an author of animated films, videos and audio-performances, a poet and a musician. He loves to combine images with sound - reading his own poetic works. In a new episode of the Solo Show, we head to Bąkowski's hometown, Poznań, and visit the places that have shaped the aesthetics of his work.
