Małgorzata Jankowska on her Gymnastic Studies series: "(?) They are just images of women (...) merging into decorative configurations. All dressed in black gymnastic outfits and repeating the same gestures. This innocent training is to give the bodily, living "figures" a specific shape. The viewer will easily recognise in the frozen gestures a fountain, a spider, a flower bud, an insect or the sun disc."
Selected exhibitions presenting the series: The Cabinet, Wizytująca Gallery, Warsaw (2006); f5 Gallery, Cracow (2006).
