Justina Los — À propos — Slash Paris

Justina Los’s works are tributes to a globally dysfunctional social and economic system, where the future belongs only to those who can afford it. Fascinated by the mechanisms of hyper-capitalist exploitation, her current work addresses the dynamics of dependency and the illusion of freedom in our society. Throughout her practice, dystopia has become a motivating force, while humor and resilience remain her preferred survival methods.

Justina Los, born in 1986, lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

She studied at the Akademie für Kommunikationsdesign Köln and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in the studio of Grzegorz Kowalski (2014) and her master’s degree under the supervision of Mirosław Bałka and Krzysztof Wodiczko (2016). Her work spans sculpture, video, and performance.

In 2024, she will have a solo exhibition in Berlin at the Prison Bar Gallery, Pov Berlin; in 2025 at B-LA-M, Croma, Mexico City, Mexico; and in 2026 at B-LA-M, Dorado 806, Los Angeles, USA.

Her work has been shown at super bien! Berlin (2023), Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin (2022), Stroboskop Art Space, Warsaw (2019), Municipal Gallery Arsenal Poznan (2018), National Sculpture Center in Oronsko, Poland (2017), the British Art Show 8 at Courtyard Theater in London (2016), the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, BWA Zielona Góra, the European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrück (2015), and Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome (2014). From 2015 to 2018, she co-founded the Polen Performance duo with Mikołaj Sobczak, a service provider mainly for art institutions, recently at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Warsaw (2018), Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf, Zachęta Project Space in Warsaw, Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw (2016), lokal_30 in Warsaw, and the WRO Media Art Biennale in Wroclaw (2015).
