@galerieoskarweiss ,open until May 25th, the artist offers a candid glimpse into his world.

Rafal Skoczek’s ‘Driftworks’ examines the politics of urban space and marginality through sculpture, sound, and print. Rooted in his experience squatting at Zurich’s Juch Areal, his work critiques systems of control and exclusion, using materials from itinerant life and abstract imagery to question how art can reflect and disrupt social realities.
