'Working in a variety of media, I play with the traditional roles of varying artistic mediums. In this manner my sculptures become props, performances become documentations of actions, and films (through a process of layering, repetition and re-recording) become a physical manifestation of an idea.
The objects I make can either be centre stage in one of my films, or else become hidden as a series of props or backdrops. The “object” playing the role of a character in a film – its parts undefined, its position unclear. This lack of a fixed plot or focus maintains a sense of flux in the work whereby I never know where the project will end. My only objective is that the process itself is the focus.'
Rafal Zajko, 2012
