Solo Tumult is Klincewicz’s first-ever book that features his newest series. While filming a commercial at Waimea Bay, one of the world's top surf spots on the
island of Oahu, Klincewicz witnessed the most giant wave of the year and became obsessed with
documenting the spectacle: the intersection of Nature and man, stillness and movement, mind and
body. Solo Tumult captures these opposing aspects and presents a metaphorical manifestation of
human beings trying to find harmony in chaos. As an artist who is constantly spinning amidst the
dizzying speed of the commercial realm, this allegory hints at Klincewicz’s personal stance and also
renders a portrait of hectic modern life.

Klincewicz’s career began as a videographer. His first notable project was video work for Gosha Rubchinskiy’s Russian fashion label (2015). Subsequently, his repertoire expanded with collaborations
and commissions from some of the world’s top creators like Beyoncé, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Virgil Abloh, and Steve Lacy. On top of that, he has also worked in collaboration with a wide array of brands including Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, and Miu Miu. Whilst Klincewicz has carved out a singular niche
in the commercial sphere with his Music videos and fashion campaigns, Klincewicz’s practice also includes directing short films, making experimental documentaries, and songwriting. In 2018–2019, he collaborated with Beyoncé and Parkwood Entertainment on the Grammy award-winning film Homecoming, as a filmer, editor, and musician - providing an intimate look at Beyoncé’s transformation from a (being on) hiatus, to headlining the Coachella Music Festival. Sharing a deep relationship with skateboarding since his teens, Klincewicz has also collaborated with brands such as
Vans, Rassvet, and Nike, and in 2022 was named a key figure in street and pop culture by Hypebeast100.
