Fragments (2025)

Short animated film | 8 minutes | Directed, written, animated, and edited by Michał Woźniak

Fragments is an immersive journey through a world of images, drawings, graphics, and photographs – visual traces of memory, emotion, and imagination. Each frame tells its own story: sometimes rooted in reality, other times a projection of artistic intuition.

The film employs VR technology and digital animation to transcend the boundaries of static imagery. Viewers are invited into the depths of each frame, exploring their structures, uncovering hidden meanings, and experiencing alternative realities.

This experimental piece sits at the intersection of visual arts, memory, and new media – a reflection on how images shape our perception of the world and ourselves.

Inspirations

The film draws upon Michał Woźniak’s earlier artistic projects, including:

prints depicting historical views of Poznań
sketches from the unfinished painting series Courtyards
paintings from the series Photosensitive Stories
the 2025 painting cycle Archetypes
various sketches and drawings
and the now-defunct Galeria Targisztuki in the Wilda district of Poznań

Premiere

The official screening of the film took place on April 26, 2025, during the 30th edition of the National Festival of Film Art Prowincjonalia in Września.
