The five works of the Klatka series unfold like small altar-like structures, manuscripts or folded journals, each recording fragments of life on and around the council estate. Together, they form an environment where memory and imagination overlap, and the past persists as an affective, dreamlike presence rather than a closed narrative.

This work evokes IDOLS, and the intense engagement with Western media that shaped Dudek’s adolescence. Stickers and posters (ALF, Don Johnson, Patrick Swayze and many others) hung by his sisters create a vivid, almost obsessive tableau. The fanatical energy of this youthful escapism seems to burn through the panel, opening a window to a life beyond the estate.
