Urszula Pieregończuk‘s exhibition entitled Story Time presents the artist’s latest works – silicone humanoid sculptures made from human skin prints, on which fragments of photographs, advertisements, newspaper headlines, logos, products, characters from fairy tales and fables have been tattooed. Each tattoo, separately or in correspondence with the neighboring one, evokes specific associations in the recipient, the sum of which creates a set of messages, reflecting the accumulation and quality of contemporary stories created in the era of developed mass media. The exhibition includes works that were created as part of studies at the Doctoral School of Humanities and Art of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin.
