Broken Tale is an interdisciplinary project by Konik Studio (2014–2016) that combines animated film, painting, video art, and printmaking. Developed in Ireland and during artist residencies in Sweden and Estonia, the project relied heavily on painting, which both shaped the visual world of the film and evolved into an autonomous series. The works have been featured in numerous international solo and group exhibitions. The cycle was presented at Jönköping in Sweden (Tjärn, 2015), Galway Arts Centre (Becoming: Adventures in Growing Up, 2016), Luan Gallery (FRAME x FRAME, 2017), and Droichead Arts Centre in Drogheda (Night Light Wood, 2017). Subsequent showcases took place at Hambly and Hambly Gallery in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland (2018), Bohema Gallery in Warsaw (2019), and the National Museum in Szczecin as part of the retrospective exhibition Konik Studio Timeline (2023).
Broken Tale to interdyscyplinarny projekt Konik Studio (2014–2016), łączący film animowany, malarstwo, wideo art i grafikę. Powstawał w Irlandii oraz podczas rezydencji artystycznych w Szwecji i Estonii, gdzie kluczową rolę odegrało malarstwo, kreujące świat filmu i stanowiące autonomiczny cykl. Prace pokazywano na wielu międzynarodowych wystawach indywidualnych i zbiorowych. Cykl prezentowano m.in. w szwedzkim Jönköping (Tjärn, 2015), w Galway Arts Centre (Becoming: Adventures in Growing Up, 2016), w Luan Gallery (FRAME x FRAME, 2017) oraz w Droichead Arts Centre w Droghedzie (Night Light Wood, 2017). Kolejne pokazy projektu odbyły się w północnoirlandzkiej Hambly and Hambly Gallery w Enniskillen (2018), w Galerii Bohema w Warszawie (2019) oraz w Muzeum Narodowym w Szczecinie w ramach przekrojowej ekspozycji Konik Studio Timeline (2023).

The miniatures were painted on paper reclaimed from advertising leaflets of retail chains such as Aldi, Lidl, SuperValu and Dunnes Stores. Fragments of printed text, logos and photographs were intentionally left visible, becoming an integral part of the paintings and later serving as textures in the animated film.
Miniatury powstawały na papierze pochodzącym z gazetek reklamowych sieci handlowych, takich jak Aldi, Lidl, SuperValu i Dunnes Stores. Pozostawione fragmenty nadruków, logotypów, fotografii i tekstów stawały się integralną częścią obrazów oraz tekstur wykorzystywanych później w filmie animowanym.
