Skyscrapers

The enigmatic word for ‘skyscrapers’, a term that has not become part of the vernacular, is my starting point and the title of an exhibition in which I want to juxtapose two realities: blocks of flats and the sky, and talk about how one can create a tailor-made ‘paradise’ in the midst of the everyda...y and the grey.

Skyscrapers have always fascinated me as places where many stories take place at the same time - as a child I used to dream of living in a skyscraper, preferably on the top floor, close to the sky. Over time, blocks of flats have become interesting objects for me, which I ‘map out’ using various media for various realisations. Consequently, calling them ‘Podniebniks’ seemed appropriate to my concept.
