BIO

Jonas Kolecki is a filmmaker, painter, and collagist whose multidisciplinary practice centers on time as both a tool and a subject. His work explores themes of ephemerality, decay, and the human impact on landscapes—physical and conceptual alike. Through site-specific and context-sensitive approaches, he creates projects across painting, film, performance, and collaboration that investigate the traces and transformations left by human presence. (Mariam Elnozahy – Artistic Director, Konsthall C Stockholm)

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in Munich, Germany, where he was part of the class of Olaf Nicolai. His work has been exhibited at institutions including Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare, Bolzano, Italy (2020); Fondazione Centro Arti Visive di Pietrasanta, Pietrasanta, Italy (2018); and Kunstarkaden München, Munich, Germany (2023). His works are held in collections including the Muri-Gries Monastery, Bolzano, and the Barth Collection, Bressanone, Italy.
