Krupa Gallery London, February 2025

I think we have met before is a site specific comission for a group show - The Ark.

THE ARK challenges human exceptionalism, proposing a reality where humans and non-humans co-exist without hierarchy.

It deconstructs human dominance and strips away our privileged position as rulers of the planet to envision a world in which alternative existences take precedence. The further one descends into the exhibition space, the more human influence dissolves, giving way to new ontologies.

The exhibition blends object-oriented ontologies, queer and interspecies bodies, and the natural world within a technological framework. THE ARK becomes a vessel without a captain, navigating a post-human world where survival belongs not to those who dominate, but to those who adapt and transform.The ultimate question remains: In this utopian future, if Homo sapiens endures, will they learn from animals rather than exploiting them for their own use?

On the closing day of “The Ark” group exhibition, Krupa London presents four sound, voice, and movement performances hosted by one of participating artists Natalia Januła. Engaging bodies, space, and sonic landscapes, the event extends the artist’s interest in organic transformation and interconnected systems.

Hollie Miller & Craig Scott will explore the interplay of bodily movement and sound, using fetal motion sensors to activate an evolving sonic environment. Karolina Łebek will present an experimental composition intertwining folk instrumentation with digital soundscapes. Aprigoat & David will create a semi-improvisational performance merging modular synthesis and sample manipulation into surreal sonic narratives. Agnieszka Szczotka will perform a spoken word piece bridging memory, language, and presence.
