About works / performance
Stefański works primarily with multi-screen video installations, film and photography. His practice is located at the nexus of choreography, psychology and film. Revolving around the physical ephemerality of gesture and repetition his work unfolds visual narratives exploring identity and the politics of embodiment. The themes he investigates include memory, history and trauma, choreographies of violence and care, mental health, toxic proveniences of patriarchal masculinity and its possible alternatives. His process often originates from introspection and conversations with participants of his projects.
