Warsaw seems to be a city of extremely divergent opinions – as to its atmosphere, citizens, architectural image, general arrangement of the space and its spatial development. Many of big cities, especially capitals, are stereotypically labelled (rightly or wrongly) in terms which are helpful - both for tourists visiting them as well as for their citizens - in referring themselves to the cities. Paris as a capital of fashion, New York – the city of avant-garde and individualists, Tokyo – the city of workaholics...
And Warsaw? It is hard to point a commonly entrenched, quick association. Although the opinion of an ugly city could be such a one. However, the problem is that the aesthetics is a very relative issue and while a part of the citizens and tourists states the city is ugly and boring, the other part may disagree having a contrary opinion.
The number and variety of the opinions were one of the impulses to create an artistic project that could reflect the diversity – twenty visual artists talk about Warsaw as a place where they live and create, that involves their emotions and experiences, and that they face as an 'outer' person – representing various cultures that they are related to. more
