Unfinished histories

I've found La Plata a very inspiring city. For a person from Europe, the city has so many inspiring incentives, that it was difficult for me to choose one of them, which has to be the base of my project and the resulting from it exhibition. What has absorbed my attention "from the first view" of the city, was a specific mix of architectural design, which one of the elements are uncompleted buildings and characteristic abstract architectural forms which no longer have an explanation for it's urban existence. These objects are often visually interesting but abstract creature, which can be viewed only in terms of aesthetic.

Story of buildings seems to have never end, at any time the object can be modernized, you can build a new part of it, and to demolish old, which completely change the look of the original building. Not without reason people took a liking for the architectural tissue as a place to express their disagreement   on the objective reality and the story about what hurts society. As in Poland, I have found in La Plata many built forms, which, for a variety of reasons, have not been completed or have lost their original purpose. In Poland the most of that buildings are the residue of the 1970's and 80's, from the period of communism. Nowadays, these facilities are often crust, which, according to many people, disfigure the city. For me these buildings telling the story about the country, speak about its tripping and failures and sometimes also about the successes.

So I am interested in some convergent points, in which the story of two completely other countries begin to come close in unexpectedly way. Convergent points like history from the last century, which is still unknown, persecutions and repressions, the disappearance of many people, which was never explained and many pointless decisions of government. Not finished and not clear history which doesn't have its natural end or is adulterated, still oppresses, still hurts.

At the exhibition, there are few works concerns this themes; like deliberately simplified models of objects found in La Plata and in outskirts, photograph from which "disappears" a figure which was showed on it , short text placed on the wall and video combining elements of architecture and history derived from the novel "Press clippings" by Julio Cortázar.
