OFFICE FOR MONUMENT CONSTRUCTION
2016, film, 72 min

Office for Monument Construction tells the story of people who come from a town which no longer exists. Having no better place to stay, they inhabit a deserted concrete complex situated in the middle of a vibrant city. However, this surrogate home is bound for demolition. Within this precarious situation, the characters find reassurance and order by creating their own logic and reality, performing strange repetitive games and routines. The characters are on a tireless search for something which might define and represent their identity. The result is an assortment of unusual objects. Gradually a museum-like collection, built around a fictitious narrative, begins to emerge.

Karolina Breguła (b. 1979)
artist working in the fields of film, video, photography, installation and happening. Graduate of the Film School in Łódź, where she received her PhD in 2015. Her work explores the problems of the status of the artwork, the materiality of art objects and their functioning within the institutional frameworks. The artist also scrutinises the reception of contemporary art and undermines official art narrations, questioning their hermetic language and opening them to new interpretations. Breguła encourages viewers to actively participate in the process, to interact and to challenge the established manners of reception. The artist also explores the problematic of the social role of art and the myths that revolve around it. Despite her awareness of the involved limitations, Breguła attempts to take art out of the gallery space. Her films inhabit the borderland of contemporary art and the cinema – they are shown both at art galleries and film festivals.
