I am an artist and an academic working in the fields of philosophy and cultural studies. Through my work I engage with the tensions between the human and the nonhuman, and the politics and ontologies of this division. I regularly present my research at conferences and have written about the technicisation of the body, hybrid ontologies, and nature conservation after the end of Nature.
I was born in Poland, I have a BA Hons in Fine Art from Bath School of Art and Design and an MA in Philosophy from Warsaw University. I recently spent a year doing research at Goldsmiths. Complementary to my art practice I am working on a doctoral project at the Department of Philosophy, Warsaw University, "Between ethics and aesthetics. Contemporary takes on the relationship between humans and nature."
I live in Cambridge, UK.
