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 situates the council estate within a deeper temporal and material landscape. The land beneath the estate is imagined 25 million years ago as a tropical sea, accounting for salt deposits that shaped Dudek’s father’s work in the salt mines. Reflections of the estate in puddles, a graffiti-marked neighborhood map, amber fragments, and metallic inserts create a topography that merges natural and built environments. Steel dust coats the exterior, evoking the rich, layered soil beneath the surface.
