NARRACJE 2014

"Wrzosowisko" - projekcja wideo przygotowana na festiwal Narracje 2014.
"Moorland" - video commissioned by Narracje 2014 Festival.



"In their project the artistic duo Kijek/Adamski refer directly to the place in which it is presented. The artists evoke the local street grid in the form of a timber framing wall, which bears strong connotations of the ruthless “ordnung” of civilisation. As the growth of vegetation slowly takes place, the map is devoured by moorland, which is associated in many cultures with a magic place. The geometric, cool and static composition transforms into a beautiful, organic, moving image. The artists themselves describe it as a simulation of the way this part of the city is reclaimed by the plant to which the district owes its name. Nature turns a magic full circle. The cycle of transitions which the artists represent symbolically is not merely a remote artistic vision. This process is unfolding on an ongoing basis. Revolutionary changes, such as demolition of buildings as well as new streets and buildings that appear in their place, can be noticed more easily than a slow cycle which embraces both nature and civilisation." Anna Witkowska, Adam Witkowski - curators of Narracje 2014
