Motion

Szewska’s fascination with light and motion goes back to her Theatre In Education days when she developed shadow theatre for children’s entertainment, following in the great Eastern European storytelling tradition. The thrill of son et lumière has never faded for her and now, armed with freshly acquired digital editing and manipulation skills, Szewska is beginning to make the stories she wants to tell.

Film produced by Szewska as a ‘save the date’ for a wedding party. Hand-made figures in a stop-frame animation with a toppling type effect that’s central to the event identity.

Told In Pieces: excerpt featuring Szewska from the film she made of an exhibition by the Advanced Printmaking Course at City Lit.
