Janek and Adam and I met in high school, when our musical tastes and active desire to explore them in practice made us decide to form a band. Since then, they have been very close to me. Our relationship has shaped my understanding of the world and made me feel more confident with myself. During the several years of our acquaintance, a certain place took on special significance - a field behind Adam's house, on the outskirts of the city, which provided a substitute for us to escape and get in touch with nature. We were able to sit there for hours sharing various thoughts and emotions.
Two years ago Adam and Janek moved out of the city, causing our contact to deteriorate significantly. Despite this, the field remained for me a space full of reflection, peace and escape. I began to regularly go there alone, photographing and looking at individual plants. This practice awakened in me a reflection on existence and the coherence of human life with the natural world. When my friends returned, I tried to arrange everything so that we could at least stay together in the field for a while. We tried to stop the time of reflection, closeness and empathy that we were all missing. I searched for traces of our relationship in a place that remembered all our moments together, but wondered if it was of any significance to him. The field seemed to remain out of reach, forming an incomprehensible whole composed of individual entities, which we were also, with our human stories. We were breaking out of social structures to be in a substitute for the original structure, in a space-time continuum over which we had no control. This organic chaos, in stark contrast to the human world of structures, represented the possibility of the closest togetherness I have ever known.
Time spent with friends, which becomes a representation of the Anthropocene; it ends, and despite the traces left in natural space, the field continues to live unchanged. The humanistic structure composed of political systems, human relations, economics, science, crashes into the structure of the continuum, and the all-encompassing freedom.
