Ireneusz Zjeżdżałka, one of my favourite Polish photographers, dead in 2008, created a photographic cycle entitled Sedimantation. In the series Zjeżdżałka was documenting the process of destruction and decomposition of the past by showing some empty, abandon spaces, buildings, industrial plants, schools, homes. Their destruction unveiled layers of history accumulated on things, memories and traces of human activity.
Abandon and destroyed spaces, where the natural proceses start to decomposite human's works, are part of my everyday perception of Warsaw.
One of this kind of places is Piłsudzki's fort next to me, a place suspended by existence and destruction, no more a fort, not yet a park, a monument...
