The Ursynów Memorial Ski Lift (2010)
climbing rope, table, chairs, cardboard. Commissioned for The Knot, Warsaw.

In the late 1980s a ski lift was installed in the Ursynów Park, Warsaw to facilitate the practice of grass skiing in the park. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the subsquent collapse of communism in Poland, the ski lift was dismanted and the metal beams and members stolen. All that now remains is a small stub of metal set in concrete at the top of the hill.

As a commemoration of this short-lived ski lift we installed a climbing rope for one day in Ursynów Park. The following day the rope was cut into sections and members of the local community were invited to attend a rope ladder making workshop. The individual rope ladders that were produced were then tied together to create a climbing net titled "A Machine for looking at Warsaw upside down"
