Clock Tower, Zamek Culture Center, Poznań, 2008
The projection was on the clock tower of a former imperial castle, now the Zamek Culture Center. On all four faces of the tower, high overhead, were projected pre-recorded images of homeless people, their magnified figures emerging like busts from the background of the fine architecture. In sequences lasting roughly 10–15 minutes, the protagonists spoke of their experiences of homelessness, their superimposed voices making it impossible to follow any single narrative. The viewer could listen to the individual recordings outside the tower, where loudspeakers emitting the soundtrack of the projection had been installed. The project was realized in collaboration with Poznań’s Pogotowie Społeczne, an NGO helping unemployed and homeless persons.
Project organized by Signum Foundation in association with the Zamek Culture Center, Poznań.
