AMSTERDAM.- Karolina Wojtas’ (Poland, 1996) work is colourful, imaginative, humorous and has a vaguely sinister nature to it. The artist is inspired by family, memories of her youth, unusual moments and candy. We can’t live – without each other gives an insight into the continuous struggle between brother and sister: a love-hate relationship, sometimes taken to extremes. The series is a close collaboration between the two siblings. Together they stage intense moments of violence and Wojtas produces realistically executed phantom wounds. Her work invites the viewer to participate and discover, where the visitor can feel like a child again. Sometimes combined with dark humour, the exhibition of Wojtas creates a (sur)realistic experience.

In We can’t live – without each other Wojtas gives an intimate view of the complex relationship with her younger brother. Until the age of thirteen, the artist was an only child and she wanted it to keep it that way. When her parents announced that she was going to have a baby brother, she was ready to defend her territory. After twelve years, the battle between the artist and her brother is far from over. The visitor to Wojtas’ work is immersed in a child’s world. The artist does not simply hang her images on a wall; she develops installations that fill an entire space. The photographic image takes on a whole new presence as it is one of many elements that is part of the presentation. Wojtas uses different materials and a multitude of bright colours in her exhibition designs. In this way, the space in Foam becomes a playful environment where visitors are invited to actively participate in the world of Karolina Wojtas.
