Łukasz Skąpski studied painting in Cracow and lives there. He makes photography, video films, installations, objects, etc. Throughout the 90-ties light and motion (almost imperceptible changing) were subjects (and materials) of his work. The Devices series, one of his best recognized works, conceptually and symbolically pertains to this area. Perfectly made optical instruments were designed to “facilitate spiritual experience” and should be interpreted as a critic of “new society” values. His latest works move more openly towards social or political issues, expressing his civic concerns. In 2001 he co-founded Azorro Supergroup, which has played a significant role in Polish artistic life being “institutional critic” with quite an ironic view of the art-world practices. Simultanously he made video dealing mainly with social and political matters.
