ALEKS SZ.

altar
2026

There is a silence called apathy beyond the pillars of the altar.

There is a violence named grief behind the performance of joy.

Your body is a ritual device in ricochet, suspended between hope and rage.

Aleks Sz. cultivates disorder with a Slavic discipline and the impish gaze of a child in a toy shop. Using concrete, fluorescent paints and scavenged objects they examine the tensions of the human condition through the art of industrial assemblage.

Altar is an homage to aggro, ecstasy, and unity: to the intimacy in agonistic behaviour and to unrestrained freedoms at their tipping point. It confronts the role of subculture in navigating external conflicts.
