By deploying monumental relics, commemorative infrastructure and architectonic interventions, Zuzanna Czebatul questions how political ideology produces an aesthetics of power and how it can be altered. Her sculptural work takes the form of columns, obelisks, tapistry, archeological remnants and other architectural displays that undo, twist or renegotiate the values they traditionally harness. “Building up to better break down,” is the motto under which she remodels the aesthetics of power into a powerful aesthetic that sparks a transformative potential for a coming society.
