HydrAtionWaVeS is an audiovisual duo and an ongoing project formed by Katarzyna Debska and Jerzy Mączyński, which was born in an underground abandoned spa complex with a tiny pool that emerged into a platform connected with art space and label and got name SAUNA. https://www.instagram.com/saunaplatform

The empty dry pool being used as a project space and lab- naturally became a place for many experiments and duo performances inspired by Mączyński and Debska research residencies at Chapala Lake, Athens, polish Mazury and recently also in Iceland (SIM residency). Reflections on lack of water and need of it, its flow and condition led them after a long process to put their material and footage together and let the project see the sunlight step by step, but still keeping the research going on.

Debska and Mączyński are creating a dialogue between sound and image, bringing an immersive experience and initiating moments of letting the water, surrounding and viewer become one, generating body and mind hydration.

From Noise to Ambient. From meditation to harsh experience.

The project can be presented as an audiovisual performance or multi-channel a/v installation.
At SIM exhibition we decided showed it on a tv screen placed on a floor as a movie, which also worked as an object in space.
