Filips Staņislavskis (Rīga/Berlin)
My practice is situated somewhere between speculative research, material experimentation and gesture creation. Specialized in being a generalist and value-driven, I position myself as an attitudinal designer always orbiting around the 'how'. Observe, speculate and care are approaches that encompass all activities of this web(page). I like to think of my projects as tools and mirrors that are to be used for critical self-reflection, nudging my audience towards questioning the habitual. With this work, I attempt to facilitate moments that aspire to revision one’s attitude, with a gaze turned towards collective response-ability in a world of complex, constantly reconfiguring entanglements.
If you are interested in the works, a collaboration, or just a chat, feel free to get in touch.
