'Blood Concrete Sun' explores what remains. Myths, monuments, artefacts and collective desires continue to shape contemporary experience long after the historical conditions that produced them have disappeared. In the works of Maciej Nowacki and Miłosz Tomkowicz, bodies, artefacts, rituals and monuments become different ways of confronting this legacy.
Nowacki places q***r bodies within landscapes marked by collective histories, opening established symbols to new forms of solidarity and belonging. Tomkowicz turns towards monuments, relics and mythic figures, revealing the fragility hidden beneath structures commonly associated with permanence, authority and strength. Together, the artists examine how images outlive their original contexts, asking which forms of community are worth carrying forward and which must be reimagined.
