Rosa's Passage (Pasaż Róży)

The author of the project is artist Joanna Rajkowska. Róża's Passage against the background of the author's earlier projects is a unique and personal realization that refers to the illness of the artist's daughter - Róża. The implementation of the project was very laborious, it consisted of pasting the walls of the tenement house at ul. Piotrkowska 3.All walls in the tenement's yard were covered with pieces of mirrors. The enormous amount of light that appeared in the dark backyard made this place something extremely shimmering. The light-reflecting mosaic enlivens the surroundings, and the fragments of mirrors give seemingly mismatched and distorted images. However, it will only be an illusion that results from the broken mirrors symbolizing the diseased retina of the eye. It is up to the passers-by to make an effort to put together the fragments of reality anew. Rose's Passage is a project about the obligation to put a painting together. These actions are symbolic gestures referring to the reconstruction of Róża's retina after chemotherapy. After an illness, the girl has a residual vision, it is possible that her way of perceiving reality is also based on merging fragments of one picture together.

That's awesome, nice yard.
