Quay Arts are delighted to announce their next Clayden Gallery exhibition Momentum, which is a photography and short film exhibition by Dominika Baerova, and Co-Director and Photo Editor Julia Fraczek, that explores freeride skiing as both a visceral experience and an expressive art form.
Through a curated series of stills and a short film, the exhibition captures skiers Bartosz Baturo’s and Julia Fraczek’s interplay between themselves as the skiers and mountain. Bold motion carved into frozen terrain, and the stillness that precedes it.
What to expect
In the exhibition space, the imagery embraces contrast: kinetic lines against vast silence, explosive action and immersive textures of snow, wind, and rock.
Then the film delves into the mental space just before descent, where memory, anticipation, and instinct collide. Exploring the charged pause at the edge, where gravity meets intention, and movement becomes inevitable.
The work leans into an experimental visual language, merging documentary sharpness with abstract composition.
Sponsored by Houdini Sportswear
Sponsored by Houdini Sportswear, the exhibition reflects a shared commitment to creativity, risk, and the pursuit of sustainable outdoor culture.
