The view outside the window is a space of projection. The pane reflects the interior of an apartment, an office, a hall. Beyond the glass stretches a landscape of buildings and cars. The window marks the boundary between the inner and the outer.

 

The presented project takes the form of a banner covered with receipts that together create the view outside the window, based on the artist’s archival photograph. The image depicts a Warsaw housing estate from the early 2000s. Constructed from narrow strips, the picture resembles a memory assembled piece by piece. Between the layer of receipts and the surface of the banner, plywood and wood create steps and differences in height. The banner is made of thermal paper, which will fade over time, revealing only the outline of the original view.
