Works from Łukasz Stokłos' exhibition Cries and Whispers

The exhibition is named after Ingmar Bergman’s 1972 film Cries and Whispers in which two sisters watch over a third in the last agonizing days of her life. Set in the gilded, red-saturated rooms of their family castle, this story of the sisters’ and, in turn, the house’s indi!erence to su!ering achieves the same dissonance in its adherence to ritual. Stoklosa’s and Bergman’s scenes share a filmic grandiosity and endeavor to capture within them the horrors of history that objects ignore.
