In her work, Agnieszka Mastalerz explores the mechanisms of control and the processes that influence and exploit individuals. The artist uses a poetic visual language to analyze restrictive rules established within intimate relationships, communities, states, and companies, as well as in relation to the natural environment. Mastalerz's works are included in the collections of the Fondazione in Between Art Film by Beatrice Bulgari, the European Investment Bank, the Ergo Hestia Group, and the Warsaw Ghetto Museum, as well as in private collections.

Nodes

The work focuses on orchids, whose roots were used in Poland and Italy to influence others—both emotionally and sexually. In Poland, dried roots of wild orchids were attached to the inside of the person's clothing; in Italy, an elixir was created from powdered dried roots and goat's milk.

Drawing on the intimate rituals of the past, the Nodes project aimed to draw attention to the current commercial-industrial context, where exotic orchids are mass-produced. Although technology allows for the cultivation of nearly identical plants, the final touch is performed by women who adapt the orchids to a standardized aesthetic—shaping them and trimming off any unnecessary parts.

The series in collaboration with banda editions includes four selected stills from the video (2023).
