The recognizable aesthetics of Paulina Komorowska-Birger's works consistently serves to domesticate time - not understood as a physical parameter, but as a factor of personal history. Just as the delicate and transparent material of glass envelops and alters the shape and character of objects captured in photographs of significant yet fleeting moments or surfaces changed by time, so the artistic gesture transforms historical content, facts, and documents into artifacts. This distance gives recalled events a new context - elements of professional history can intertwine here with revealed episodes of private life, and objects from the past can acquire a contemporary context.
