	The video and photography work Gyrostasis is by artist Franek Wardyński and was created for the SÓL exhibition at the Museum of the Earth, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, 2025.

The video shows a slow rotation of salt crystals collected from the interior of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, located in the Salt Lake of Utah. The gentle pink hues in the video reflect the lake’s colouration caused primarily by halophilic microorganisms, such as the algae Dunaliella salina and salt-loving archaea, which produce carotenoid pigments like beta-carotene. The work’s dark background evokes a sense of space and timeless suspension, focusing attention solely on the crystalline forms without distraction.

	The second part of the piece is a photographic triptych presenting a carefully curated collection of salt crystals arranged in formal compositions. These crystals are enlarged to reveal their multidimensionality and imperfections, including tiny fibres and grains of sand embedded within, which can actually promote crystal growth by serving as nucleation points.
Together, the video and triptych explore themes of geological time, material transformation, and suspended presence, extending Robert Smithson’s exploration of earthworks and natural processes through delicate, detailed observation.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; / Halit

	



	The Halit series comprises medium-format analogue photographs taken with a Mamiya 645 camera. The images show halite crystals from Inowrocław, part of the geological collection of the Museum of the Earth, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Working with the museum’s archive, Franek Wardyński photographed the crystals as distinct forms, rather than specimens, focusing on their fragile surfaces, fractures, and the play of light.

The crystals come from a region where salt mining once defined local life but has since disappeared. The project reflects on this loss and the passing of material history.
	Wardyński’s approach is informed by Robert Smithson’s reflections on entropy and geological time, as well as J. G. Ballard’s novel The Crystal World, in which crystallisation becomes a way of thinking about transformation and suspension. These influences shape the quiet tone of the series, where photography becomes another form of sedimentation.
The work was created for the solo exhibition SÓL at the Museum of the Earth, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, 2025.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; / 7%

	



	7% is a photographic series capturing the stark transformation of our planet through the retreat of
glaciers. Powdered with Saharan sand, the ice appears like a wounded, animal-like skin—its haunting orange hue a visual warning of climate change’s reach.

Inspired by French President Macron’s remarks, the series reflects on the consequences of melting ice: biodiversity loss, rising seas, water scarcity, and mass migration. France is losing 7% of its glaciers each year. Focusing on La Jonction glacier, the images resemble a slow, dignified farewell to these vanishing giants.

	
As summers grow hotter and winters shorter, regeneration becomes impossible. Shot with a Mamiya 645 on 120 film, the series becomes a visual elegy and a call to action—a reminder that we may be the last to witness the fragile beauty of glacial landscapes.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; / Horizon


	


	The multimedia installation Horizon (2024), conceived by Franek Wardyński, is the result of a creative process that began in 2019 during the artist’s participation in the Land Arts of the American West program in Lubbock, Texas, USA. 

Recording the landscape and terrain in and around North Texas as a conceptual starting point, the project explores the possibilities of combining story navigation, audio experience, and disciplined photography—all in a constant pan. 

The work lives between cinema and art, documentary and fiction: it tells a story of America 30 million years ago, divided by the Western Interior Seaway, while looking at the climate crisis and an increasingly flooded America, reminding us all what is at stake. 

Wardynski uses repetition inspired by French artist Pierre Huyghe's work Remake, which explores analysis generated by sequence. Instead of considering Horizon as a social commentary, Wardynski, similarly to Huyghe, suggests an anthropological reset: What can art do for the non-human environment in the big scheme of things? In dealing with what is next and what we consider safe. 

For this work, Wardynski lived and worked in Lubbock, where he created the framework for the movie as a spinning, haunted horizon: a dark tale of human land use in the American West, a mental map of sorts. 
	The relationship between the slow movement and the fixed horizon creates an interior, a type of space in itself: a document with a parallel story of past, present, and future—a cold landscape analysis at times. The same is true for the sound, where we are invited to drift from horror to humour in the depths of feelings. The installation is a photographic record, raising questions about using land as a stage for an anthropological narrative. 
In the three-channel installation, sound works and word-scape merge in and out across multiple screens in choreography, a perfect rhythm, sometimes unsettling but more often mesmerising and hypnotic, resulting in a subterranean meditation. 
The narrative suggests that something is looming, connecting the past with the future, a notion that we should all be wary of. In Lubbock-local author Barry Lopez's namesake book, Horizon (2019), he talks about collecting a handful of mementoes from his travels, arranged to make intuitive sense, like scenes in a short story. This matrix, he suggests, has a deeper truth of life that always lies beyond his reach. Wardynski’s collection of flatlands does a similar thing, reminding us of land use in constant movement. 
Horizon premiered at the Warsaw Architecture Pavilion Zodiak in January 2025 and was later presented at the Crea Open exhibition in Venice in April 2025.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; / Phase


	


	Created during a summer residency at GroundWork Gallery in King’s Lynn, UK, Phase is a film and a series of four photographic prints made along the Norfolk coast. Filmed on Cromer Beach, the video examines how tides, moon cycles, and erosion gradually reshape the cliffs and nearby houses. When the sea pulls back, it leaves behind flint nodules that look like meteorites or fragments of flesh—small traces of a landscape in flux.

The work reflects on what these coastal changes reveal about time, transformation, and the balance between human presence and natural processes. It connects the physical shifts in the land with the quiet patterns of change that run through daily life.

	Since its creation, Phase has been shown at the Crash Club exhibition during Warsaw Gallery Weekend in 2024, at GroundWork Gallery’s Ground Water exhibition in 2025, and at Wardyński Studio during Warsaw Fringe 2025.
The project was co-funded by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund, the City of Warsaw, and Staromiejski Dom Kultury.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; / Voyage


	


	Two feet walking on land, travelling to and from places far and wide apart. Someone on a world tour just after the gates opened in Poland in 1989. The visual cues of places. A form of Geoguesser long before it existed. Instead, footage from a Panasonic VHS, NV-S77, wide-lensed cam recorder with an X14 times zoom. A short film, a handful of stills, and a billboard installed at Wardyński Studio.

The footage, a performance of sorts, was shot over 20 hours of film from sites around the globe—a found travel diary building a syntactic unit of movement, a language of repeated gestures. A camera choreography, leaving the feet the syntax for a story, becomes a key movement trope. Tapes of travels to sites, shown as documents layered with meaning: cut and framed using colours, materials, and sounds.

	
 Artist Franek Wardyński weaves the archival footage together to shift the attention to the ground; the almost incomprehensible walking invites us to another way of looking. ‘Voyage deals with narrative and abstraction, and the possible ways of handling space and time, with structure, land, and perception,’ Wardyński explains.

Voyage has been part of the Warsaw Fringe Festival 2024.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; / Inverted Tiles


	


	Inverted tiles are about extraction, making and books. It is a critical exploration of extracting land and placing an artwork in another artwork. The story begins in Wendover, in a residency at CLUI, The Centre for Land Use Interpretation. It was the hottest day of the fall. We found ourselves in the desert in Utah, with a limited water supply and 104 degrees. Yet, we spent the day at South base, a military plane turned artist residency, blazing in the sun. There was nowhere to hide. An abandoned field, the site used to be the most extensive bombing and gunnery range in the world; they even trained pilots in how to drop atomic bombs here in the 40s. We dug into the flat, collecting white salt-rich clay and used that to make tiles on the spot with a wooden frame. The tiles dried quickly in the heat. 
	The following week, we travelled in two trucks from Utah to Nevada. Carefully packed, the handmade tiles survived climbing Moapa Valley on Mormon Mesa near Overton. We lived for a week in Michael Heizer's Double Negative, a section of extracted land, forming a piece of land art (457 meters long, 15.2 meters deep, 9.1 meters wide) across the mesa, made in 1969. Living in an extracted land sculpture had a profound effect on us. At first, it wasn't easy to grasp. Saturated, we began to understand. The artwork protected us from the sun, wind and the hardness of the mesa; it became our habitat. Our walls and interiors. Imported, the tiles became symbols of domestic life. Placed in Double Negative, the objects became inverted shapes of Heizer's work—books on a shelf, captured in a series of photographs that explored our habitat creation. Inverted tiles: extracted earth from the gun land in Utah, shaped on site, placed in a trench sculpture in Nevada.
