The view outside the window becomes a space of projection. The glass reflects the interior of an apartment, an office, a hallway, while beyond it stretches a landscape of buildings and passing cars. The window marks a boundary between what is inside and what is outside.
This project takes the form of a large banner constructed from receipts, which together recreate a view based on the artist’s archival photograph. The image depicts a Warsaw housing estate in the early 2000s. Built from narrow strips, the composition resembles a memory assembled piece by piece. Between the layer of receipts and the surface of the banner, plywood and wood introduce shifts in depth and subtle irregularities. The banner is made from thermal paper that will gradually fade over time, leaving behind only a faint trace of the original image.
