During her stay in Japan, Krystyna Ziach visited the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima, which made a deep impression on her. What touched her particularly was the fact that, after the explosion, a black rain came down. Her diptych “Black Rain” was inspired by this apocalyptic phenomenon.
In her studio she created an installation, consisting of a monumental background she painted, within which she situated a three-dimensional bamboo construction with black cloths. In this setting she placed herself as a performer.
The diptych “Black Rain” is a photographical registration in which performance, painting and a spatial construction go together.
