Beast, 2016
A series of physical micro-worlds emerge and dissolve in Graczyk's inaugural solo, BEAST. Humorous, absurd, and as unstable as a live wire, Graczyk guides us with peculiar and detailed logic through a seemingly empty room. Human interactions and objects become necessary partners in bringing forth the unseen as we follow Graczyk's journey of revelation, rejection and carnal need, vividly etched through the labor of her imagination. BEAST is the first solo for Graczyk's larger body of work: Desire Motor which embodies the dissonances arising between internal wants and external realities.
