BoomUnusual simplicity, but also references to the direct and universal languages are characteristics of the activities of Julian Tomaszuk. His Boom project was also maintained in such an atmosphere. Upon entering the cameral and quiet Plac Mariacki our eyes encounter a sizeable tower which looks as if it fell from St. Mary’s Church. The strength of this work was its influence in the context of the site’s localisation. Both the site as well as the installation have a direct and mutual influence and command the verification of their “routine” primary reception. For residents and tourists, Krakow’s Market Square and Plac Mariacki are symbols and any interference in their image constitutes a breach, a disturbance of the set order.

Seemingly, each of them ran its own course, however the messages are surprisingly convergent and complementary. Linguistic expression was accompanied by “meaningful silence” or non-closure. Everyone was provided with the possibility of performing a personal deconstruction of this work of art.  Project curator: Marcin Krasny Pictures: Weronika Szmuc |
