Excerpt

“As I was going through the artistic output of Wincenty Dunikowski-Duniko, an active participant in the art world of the 1970s, I came across several sketches of machines and drawings depicting physical processes. Some ideas are more complicated than others in these sketches: some are simple notes penned on pieces of paper that cannot be treated as finished works of art; others are advanced device designs that are difficult to execute. Therefore, these projects have never materialized. However, I believe that today the effect of both the former and the latter is strengthened by not having developed beyond the hypothetical.”
