When simplicity meets creativity, magic happens. Working alongside pianist Emilio Piano and Arthur Cadre, I had the privilege of shaping this performance as Movement/Art Director. For me, the essence of such projects lies in refining even the smallest details, clever solutions, pure creativity, and trust between artists that ultimately create the wow effect. Bringing visions together in the studio and aligning them into one cohesive frame was both a challenge and a joy. I deeply value this process, where movement becomes not just form, but storytelling and composition. Can’t wait for what’s next 🎬 Credits: Music: Emilio Piano Dance/Direction: Arthur Cadre Movement & Art Direction: Michał Gerlach DOP: Szymon Gosławski ( @szymon___goslawski) Gaffer: Aleksandra Zarzeczna ( @behind.the.river) Gaffer: Krystian Strupieniuk ( @krystianstrupieniuk) Editor: Pierre Chapelain (choubilouski) & Oskar Opatowski ( @madtriix) Makeup/Hair: Nastya Mateychik ( @mateynastya) Special Thanks: Marcel Stefanowski ( @stm.marcel) & Dyspensa Records ( @dyspensarecords) #MovementDirector #ArtDirector #PerformanceArt #MovementArt #ArtInMotion #CreativeDirection #StudioShoot #OnSet #pankrokow #emiliopiano #MagicInMotion #storytellingthroughmovement

Rizz’s world feels like a dream translated into form - raw, intuitive, deeply human. A self-taught Balinese artist whose work pulses with memory, gesture and emotion. Painting, ceramics, movement - all fused into a visceral language of his own. Together with set designer @ramlau_set , we were invited into his studio - a quiet space where sketches, spirit and silence coexist. As a movement director, I recognised not just shapes - but intention. We spoke about Basquiat and Bacon - rhythm and distortion, two forces that shaped how I see movement, and how he sculpts form. His work? Raw like Basquiat, tense like Bacon, bold like fauvism - but rooted in something older: ritual, trance, Balinese soul. No polish. No calculation. Just truth - wild, but tender. He’s shown alongside Dalí, Chagall, Matisse, Miró. And yes - he’s the only one still alive. Still working. Still evolving. He doesn’t follow the system. He follows the fire. Between our worlds - composition, instinct, motion. We found a shared rhythm. And then… came the bikes. His collection? No words - just legends. Brutal. Beautiful. And yes, a Triumph Bonneville T120 - just like Bob Dylan’s. Two disciplines. Two creators. Different tools. Same obsession. Something clicked that day. And this is just the beginning. Stay close. 🎬

Okładka @vogue.polska VOGUE Polska Sport z Anastazją Kuś – najmłodszą reprezentantką Polski na Mistrzostwach Świata i wschodzącą gwiazdą sprintu na 400 m, znaną z występów na europejskich i światowych arenach lekkoatletycznych. Miałem zaszczyt wspierać ją jako reżyser ruchu – dbając o ciało w ruchu, napięcie w bezruchu i o to, by jej sportowa siła była widoczna nie tylko w mięśniach, ale i w spojrzeniu. To było spotkanie dyscypliny i wrażliwości. Dziękuję Vogue Polska za zaufanie. Anastazja dziękuję za super współpracę. — VOGUE Poland Sport Cover featuring Anastazja Kuś – Poland’s youngest track and field World Championships representative and a rising star of 400m sprinting, celebrated for her electrifying performances on European and global stages. I had the honor of serving as her movement director – sculpting the energy of her body in motion, refining tension in stillness, and ensuring her athletic power radiated not just through her muscles, but through her gaze. This was a fusion of discipline and artistry. Thank you, Vogue Poland, for entrusting me with this vision. Anastazja – your strength, focus, and trust made this unforgettable.
