Overturn

The theme [of disassembling a monument as a medium of ideological content] is worked on by Radek Szlęzak, who refer in his work to the history of the monument at square of the Silesian Seym (plac Sejmu Śląskiego). The plinth inhabited by biomass reflects the never-ending process of crystallization of the new order of power. The mutated form rotates slowly on the pedestal. Its shape seems to be frozen in the moment of transformation, as if there was a system error and the matter began to take on different forms at once, freeing itself from the yoke of one authority.
