Olendrowicz’s work uses materials, especially those that are
artificial or processed by industry, as witnesses to the specific
relationship that modern man builds with his context. Among
these, those that usually come into contact with our skin:
sponges, soap, fabrics, which tell of the body’s permeability,
transformability and vulnerability.
