Wesele | A Wedding,(6:25mins/16mm/2026) is a short experimental film composed from a reel of silent 8mm held in the Archive of Home Movies at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie). In this reel, two separate events, a wedding and a day at the beach, have been accidentally superimposed. Filmed by a member of the Bujnowscy family in 1970s Poland, the resulting double exposure creates a ghostly overlap of time and gesture, as if one memory is bleeding into another.

The footage is integrated with image and text from an old instruction manual once used by amateur filmmakers, offering guidance on how to frame a shot, what to record and how to shape a narrative. But these rules were often misunderstood, loosely interpreted or simply forgotten. Within the so-called mistakes, another kind of perfection can be found, one shaped by honesty, vulnerability and the unpredictable rhythms of everyday life.

Wesele | A Wedding, also draws on the physical qualities of film itself, its scratches, colour shifts and the gradual fading that comes with age, to evoke the fragility of memory, film and the human body. Nothing stays the same. We are not perfect. Yet within this imperfection lies something truthful, a kind of beauty that resists control and reveals what is deeply human.

Archive Footage from The Bujnowscy Family, The Archive of Home Movies held at Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie. The film was commissioned by The Wapping Project and co-commissioned by Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie supported by the British Council through UK/Poland Season 2025.
