Summary/Abstract: The point of departure here is the laboratory approach of the KwieKulik duo's work. The author's concept of “laboratory of experiments” pertains to the neo-avant-garde artists' postulated practice of salvaging the spheres of existence, art, and science. By the same token, the aim of KwieKulik's work was to break existing conventions and develop new forms of expression, to comment on political situations and spark real social change. Imperatively, one of the consequences of the laboratory work was to create an art of affective realism. In her conclusion, the author identifies this, provisionally describes it, and sums up the consequences of KwieKulik's method.
