Dorota Buczkowska is interested in the circulation as a system of mutual relations inside the human body and also its relations with its immediate surroundings. In her works, the artist highlights similarities between the human body and city infrastructure. In Buczkowska’s graphic arts, drawings and installations, arteries are transformed into water supply pipelines, while organs are transformed into washbasins, sinks, toilet seats and taps. Roads and streets are transformed as veins. Organic and mechanical circulation’s occur simultaneously. What is alive is transformed into artificial, what is artificial changes into living objects. The urban infrastructure and the internet entwines the earth creating an artificial blood circulation system for people and information. Man has created this world in his own image and likeness. May we claim that the infrastructure is subordinated to man? Or is man subordinated to the infrastructure, falling victim to his own invention? ‘Fountain’ in Garston will be an extension of daily circulation, the daily flow of machines, people and energy in symbolic terms might be read as a continuation of living existence in place which is being prepared now for demolition but is also being prepared for a new beginning. ‘Under the bridge’ is supported by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Republic of Poland. Under the bridge is within the framework of POLSKA YEAR! in the UK
