Ewa P. Porębska, the curator of the exhibition, said:
This is intended to provoke associations that can awaken the viewer’s imagination and place architecture in the context of broadly-understood cultural conditions from which it stems out.
The concise and very characteristic graphic design of the exhibition was created by Edgar Bąk and his team. The exhibition is also complemented by a short story, written specifically for the occasion by Sylwia Chutnik.
