The landscape, including the Roma buildings from Maszkowice and Czarna Góra, accurately and reliably recreates the spatial relations in the landscape of the Polish countryside between the centrally located peasant farmsteads and the faraway and marginalised Roma buildings. At the same time this reconstruction reproduces the symbolic – and still real – hierarchical power relation which alienates one group from the larger community and divides the world into the familiar and the unknown. Through her installation, made out of scraps of fabric and pieces of string taken from her home settlement in Czarna Góra, stretching like a spider web, the artist creates a kind of medicinal, warm dressing, and simultaneously a gaudy and loud package for the remote, brittle buildings, remaining on the outskirts of museum narratives.”text of Wojtek Szymański, one of the curators of the ‘ Chłopy pany, pany chłopy
