Kilometers of tape within a single room, moving from walls to floor and back again. Taut parallel and overlapping lines. Twirls hanging and chandelier-like tangles. This is the work with Monika Gryzmala. Monika Grzymala is a Polish artist, based in Berlin, who uses adhesive tape to document her movements in specific places while constructing ephemeral boundaries as well as spaces.
“A space that creates its own drawing and vice versa, a drawing that creates its own space”.
Grzymala coined the term Raumzeichnung (German for “room drawing” or “drawing in space”) to describe her creative method.
As you can see, Grzymala’s work is truly out of this world and one of a kind. During an installation, her works at times sag or bend under their own weight. This is symbolic of constant change inherent in this idea of temporality.
