On Kraków’s skyline, Biprostal stands not as a finished structure but as an ongoing work – reshaped by those who inhabit it. Originally designed as a modernist office tower overlooking the Vistula, it has been altered over time, expanded floor by floor, room by room. No two sections are alike. Some walls incorporate salvaged materials from Kazimierz’s historic buildings, others display geometric patterns inspired by Wawel’s tapestries. The scaffolding, never fully removed, serves as both workspace and passageway for future developments. Sound moves differently here. Acoustic channels create a four-element sound system between floors. The building functions as a dynamic labyrinth where spaces transform according to the desires of its inhabitants. Lower levels pulse with activity – workshops, kitchens, and cypher spaces – forming an interconnected network where creative play and production merge without distinction. Decisions occur in open assemblies, prioritizing nomadic movement and spontaneous encounters over fixed locations and predetermined functions. Materials are repurposed, skills exchanged, and adjustments made in response to need rather than fixed plans. There are no external funders, no headliners dictating what should remain and what must change. The structure evolves as a continuous spatial experiment, influenced by those who pass through and leave their mark on it – a platform for collective creativity where traditional notions of work and leisure dissolve into a single flow of human activity. Monuments of a Fictional Past (Krakow edition) is a part of Three Seas Art Festival 2025 at Bunkier Sztuki Gallery of Contemporary Art in Kraków(PL). Supported by Grosserer L.F.
