NO GRAVITY is a video triptych featuring classical dancers performing to one of the most important works of Polish academic music of the 20th century — Symphony No. 3 by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki. The project, directed by Piotr Janowczyk, was created using innovative visual techniques and is presented as a multisensory exhibition.
In 2025, the Peace Research Institute reported that, due to an escalating military crisis, the world had reached its highest level of tension since the end of World War II. As a result, mass displacement began, with people fleeing dangerous regions. According to Global Trends, more than 80 million people worldwide have already been forced to leave their homes. Many of those who experienced this describe the feeling as if “the world they escaped from no longer exists, the place they hope to reach remains uncertain, and they themselves are in a state of weightlessness — somewhere in between…”
The NO GRAVITY project is a symbolic attempt to express this condition. It is the voice of artists standing in solidarity with people from regions affected by danger — especially those creators who were forced to leave their homeland in order to continue their artistic work. The project brings together new media artists, filmmakers, video artists, and professional ballet dancers. The ballet leap itself becomes a metaphorical image of the human effort to find a new, safe place.
Combining the video installation NO GRAVITY with documentary testimonies of artists who have left their countries and found new lives elsewhere, the exhibition resonates deeply in the changing landscape of the third decade of the 21st century and will undoubtedly speak to Belarusian audiences.
