(b 1994Poland. Lives and works in Lyon)
Kula’s practice centres on themes of nostalgia, craft revival, and speculative futures. His work usually corresponds to items of material culture (garments, elements of architecture, tools, etc.) examining the relationship between these modern materials and their historical equivalents. Kula wonders about the future of craft practices within the context of environmental breakdown; he looks at the potential utopias these objects can generate, as well as their role in aiding survival in our unknown future ecosystem.
He says, “By displacing deep-past materialisms into a contemporary context, I re-explore their viabilities, potential adaptations, and community roles.”
