Oskar Zięta Air and Reflection

Oskar Zięta develops form through the behaviour of metal under pressure. In his FiDU process, two welded sheets expand with compressed air, acquiring volume through the material’s response to a precise construction. Folds and irregular edges retain a record of that transformation. Air and Reflection brings together mirrors and seating in which this approach becomes visible at different scales. Polished surfaces draw the surrounding room into the work, while changes in light and viewpoint continually alter its appearance. The object is encountered through both its physical outline and the space it reflects.
