In her new lecture performance "Stories for Mechanic Bodies" (2025), Agnieszka Polska uses cinematic found-footage materials as a backdrop to reflect on the Story, and its role in shaping the emotional infrastructures of past and present, its evolution, and its uncanny ability to predict its own future.

Agnieszka Polska’s lecture performance is commissioned by Moderna Museet in conjunction with her participation in the ongoing exhibition “The Subterranean Sky“.
