This year’s debut zone: the Artists and Collectors Alley presents its attractions!

1. Phantasmagoria

The first part of the Alley is the Phantasmagoria exhibition, which explores the deepest recesses of the human subconscious, using dreamlike motifs related to dreams and the subconscious. These threads are treated as metaphorical journeys through the labyrinths of the psyche, offering insights into the richness of human nature and leading toward self-discovery. In a setting where fantasies come to life as intense visual experiences, the exhibition questions the very nature of reality.

The artists present eclectic visions that transcend the boundaries of everyday existence. Through distortion and displacement, they explore the unlimited potential of imagination. In a world dominated by logic and rationality, dreamlike art opens the door to introspection, guiding us through the unknown landscapes of the human psyche.

2. Cyberpola

Another part of the exhibition is Cyberpola. This exhibition showcases works of post-digital art that breaks the dichotomy between the digital and the physical, bringing these worlds together. It is a trend in contemporary art that has emerged as a response to the digital revolution and its impact on culture, society and everyday life. It is also a term that refers to artistic phenomena that combine traditional techniques with modern technologies to create hybrid forms of expression. The works shown in the exhibition blur the boundaries between the virtual and the material, creating a hybrid whole.

In the digital age, post-digitality reflects our daily reality, where technology has become an integral part of life. The art allows us to better understand the impact of technology on culture and society, showing how modern tools are used to explore and reinterpret artistic forms.

3. Costume exhibition (Im)pure form. Curiosity- costume – robe

The third section of the Alley is an exhibition titled (Im)pure form. Curiosity- costume – robe. The presented works were created in Professor Sławomira Chorążyczewska’s Studio of Unique Clothing at the University of Arts in Poznan. They combine costume design, fashion and the art of design, using a progressive approach to the interpretation and presentation of clothing as an art form.

The exhibition explores the rich cultural and philosophical contexts embodied in the materials, serving as a medium to express individuality and creativity. The works reflect a variety of approaches – from references to historical costumes to futuristic creations – showing how artistic individuals reinterpret and update art theories and the contemporary nature of fabric. The costumes presented in this exhibition transcend the boundaries of aesthetic and decorative function, becoming carriers of artistic values and unique visual narratives that reveal the multidimensionality of clothing as a form of expression and a testimony to socio-cultural change.

4. Dioramas exhibition

The last section of the Alley is an exhibition of dioramas and figurines, prepared by Figure Maniacs and Figure Enthusiasts. Three-dimensional models, depicting scenes from different worlds, will be made with extreme precision and attention to detail. This exhibition and booths will feature creators using miniature figures and scenery to recreate complex and richly detailed worlds. These works are not only aesthetically stunning, but also showcase the advanced modeling techniques and creativity of the authors.

The exhibition will be an excellent opportunity to talk about modeling techniques, materials used to create the figures and the inspiration behind each project. Thanks to the passion of the creators, visitors will be able to explore the secrets of this hobby while admiring the extraordinary details and craftsmanship of the works on display.
