4. Roses in the pipe – Róże w rurze (object, hoover pipe, roses, new version of the work made in 2015).

5. Cat tower (drawing on paper, 2015).

6. Computer game Blood displayed on Monika’s bottom (video, 2015).

The objects are self-made (wooden boxes) or made with dad’s help (gypsum disc and pipe).

The first story called The story of the pipe is an audio play about a young artist, who, as a result of a heartbreak, decides to take up conceptual art, focusing on the theme of pipes, thus leading to a tragedy.

The voice-over comes from a speaker hidden inside a pipe — a stylized minimalist, conceptual sculpture that could be constructed by the protagonist of the story.
