The installation was built from the gas-discharge lamps, that is: thin, glass pipes filled with neon, shining with intense red when activated. Since they can be almost freely formed, the artist made a contour of two letters, constituting a fragment of the titular I (JA in Polish). The second fragment could be seen in the Critics Gallery Show and in Arsenal Gallery in Poznań (2005) as a set of inscriptions, scattered on the wall and repeating “me mine to me my…”, or as an individually looped “mine” emerging in soft whispers from the speakers.
A simple installation is not contradictory to the fact that Wasilewski is counted as one of the so-called new media. As he states himself, the most important aspect is the direct experience and clear translation of emotions. In this sense, experience caused by the work always has priority over the form used, no matter how profusely it reaches for the electric-electronic arsenal. He is only a tool, a prosthesis with his own weaknesses – in IMINE, for example, the pipes are painted red. Technological form is not an obstacle for the artist communicating a humane message. [A.
