Transit on Synchronicity_Warsaw



Closing down the marketplace at the 10th Anniversary Stadium shifted Jarmark Europa from the real world to the realm of ideas, myths and legends. We preserved a fraction of the spontaneous architecture of the marketplace as a readymade installation, a piece of architecture ‘in transit’, conceived to emerge just for an instant. Pace of changes in the city overwhelms even temporary structures. Like our stall, which didn’t make it on time to the marketplace, they can become useless before they are even built.

The stall accompanies the presentation, held at Bęc Zmiana, of the installation by Jerzy Goliszewski, commenting on hyper-dense temporary architecture in a constant state of flux. On the ceiling of the Bęc Zmiana venue tin plate roofs were supposed to flourish – a part of the landscape, transferred here in real scale, which until recently could be admired from the crown of the Stadium or platforms of the Stadion railway station: ocean of light roofs of various materials, just like in favelas and marketplaces all over the globe.
