the ‘ubojnia’ space by polish designer karina wiciak is comprised mostly of commercial interior interventions – intended for use and reception by a larger group of people. the assumption of the installation was not to create trite, fashionable interiors, but non-standard places, full of symbols and metaphors – at the borderline between architecture and performance. at first glance, ‘ubojnia’ shows a motif of hatching, a sketch which not only highlight the main element of decoration, but also visually changes the scale of the room. the effect gives the impression that user has shrunk, or at least that they are placed in a surreal environment. seemingly ‘szkic’ paper armchairs are suspended on meat hooks or tied to chains, symbolizing omnipresent restrictions to creativity in art and design. the very word ‘ubojnia’ – meaning slaughterhouse in polish may indicate killing of talent and creation.
