Jozef Robakowski is without doubt one of the foremost and most influential figures in contemporary Polish art. As an artist, film and video maker, photographer, draughtsman and more, he has been represented at international events ranging from documenta 6 to exhibitions at the MoMA. Together with curator Piotr Krajewski, he has compiled three programmes especially for Oberhausen - making for the most extensive show of his works thus far in Europe. Light, performances and the realities of how the artist relates to his immediate surroundings form the themes of the individual programmes, which run the gamut from The Energy Manifesto (2003) to Z mojego okna (From My Window, 2000), which was screened in the Oberhausen International Competition in 2001.
