19.09.2014
The Stimulating element of the project was the curve - grid percentile, showing increase in the ratio of girls to her age. The work is a triptych:
A percentile grid called: ' A girl’s growth Warsaw 1968'
The scheme used to determine the standard height of girls. The vector of the percentile grid - means the development, maturation of a generation. The table shows a raw statistical data, achieve an aims and pursuit to career, so it causes that Warsaw is a city witch occurrence of extorts the pressure. In my project I would like to highlight common features generations of girls to whom I belong. Shows unaware, sudden physical growth connected with the work on each other, "reach" to the goals set by their own ambitions and the society.
A Sound of growing
Deep, extending, rough <<<<< eeeeeeeeeeee >>>>> fills the entire space, although the instrument is outside of the medium which looks. The upward trend is undeniable human trait. Since I was born, I want to above all to grow. Stretching yourself I storm certain structures in favor of new ones. You can see how produced sound, but you cannot see where is the source. The movement imitates a horizontal vector of the grid.
The Skyscraper on Smolna 8 street
The building is over a man. Men is straight in the front of him , is much lower from him so he must lift up to the top. Vertical movement of the camera becomes extension and greed of human eyes, reach peak. Great, 19-th floor building on Smolna street designed by Jan Bogusławski and Bohdan Gniewiewski was built in’64-74 at the entrance to the city and the towering over the Skarpa and Powiśle. This high-rise become an important accent in panorama of post-war Warsaw. In the same years was created the grid percentile of Warsaw girls.
