During the realization of three-dimensional stop motion animation, Sadowski experimented with film, sculptural and photographic practice. “The Shape of The Moment” concentrates the complex experience of time and emotion, casts doubt on the habits of perception. Each perception is preceded by a process, carefully planned or quite random, reminiscent of the work of nature. The list of processes preceding the origin of record in the form of the last film by Sadowski is not clear at first glance. It doesn’t even require any explanations. However, over time, further layers of performances are exposed to us, offering insight into the nature of selected media and their modification. The action of time takes the form of one of many processes that determine our perception and the ways in which its object are presented to us.
