Szymon Dorabialski

Szymon’s practice exists as a personal enquiry into transcendental states of consciousness and as an observation of how the ‘divine’ experience comes to manifest itself within the restricted scopes of human epistemologies. Stemming from interests in religion, paganism, shamanism, mysticism, metaphysics and psychedelics. Szymon’s performance and sculptural installations seek to take everyday objects, tools and refuse and ostensibly reconfigure them into symbols of ritual and worship. These forms are employed as investigatory tools that play with the liberties and/or restrictions of creating a pliable personal understanding of the divine; As opposed to exclusively adhering to inherited cultural structures for the depiction of the transcendental realm.
