About the Pavillion

Archive of Hesitations is a two‑channel installation by Weronika Zalewska that contrasts rigid, hierarchical models of knowledge with embodied, affective ways of understanding. One channel adopts the language of a game show to expose the desire for clear criteria and instant judgement. The other assembles poetic, non‑linear fragments from the Educational Film Studio archive, resisting coherence and standardisation. Mila Nowacka’s visual intervention, built from delicate feedback loops, reveals the image’s material instability. Together, these elements create tension between formatted knowledge and lived experience, proposing uncertainty as a generative space where questions matter more than definitive answers.
