Martyna Miller [Poland] Sexinsitu
multimedia projection
Dominican Monastery in Lublin, Złota 9, entrance from Jezuicka Street
The sexinsitu project seeks a new visibility of sexuality. By focusing on experience rather than fantasy, it restores its social dimension. By recording individual solo recreations of the sexual memories of those participating in the project, a unique archive of sexual experience is created. It takes the form of a macro-organism. Confronted with the matter of their own bodies and the virtuality of their memories, the beings form an organic machine whose individual parts work together for the common good.
The sexinsitu project is being developed. It is open to all interested parties. The author of the project invites you to contact: sexinsitu@gmail.com

Martyna Miller – born in 1988 in Kętrzyn – an interdisciplinary artist, director and anthropologist, studied in Warsaw and Sarajevo, received her doctorate in fine arts from the University of Arts in Poznań (under Izabella Gustowska). Co-founder of the Polanki duos and the TYNA collective. Since 2018, she has been co-leading the DOMIE project in Poznań, an experimental endeavour at the intersection of art, architecture and social sciences. Her projects explore the relationship between memory and the body. Through memories and their reconstructions, she creates methods to work with the mediality of experience. She is interested in the relationship between nature and community in processes of healing, production and transformation. Her recent projects, such as Memory Carp, Intimacy of Waters and Sexinsitu, analyse individual and collective relationships with water and the ocean, entering the space of hydro-activism. In her project No Forest, she transformed a mound of roots uprooted by a hurricane – a carp – into a monumental sculpture that is subjected to processes of overgrowth. Martyna uses video, performance, sound and more. She combines work with communities and institutions, folklore and science, myth and knowledge. Her works are often cycles, collections, gestures, fragments of broader explorations.
