WHERE CREATE

The starting point for the poster was when I made a 3d scan of my own studio, completely reflexively and intuitively. It was only after a moment of delving into its deformed fragments that I remembered a long-dusty fascination with the interiors of design studios, artists' studios, spaces where creation in its broadest sense happens. I have always been curious about what happens in these places and what they look like, what books are on the shelves, what is the arrangement of the desks, what can be seen outside the window, what hangs on the walls, etc. Everything we surround ourselves with to enter the state of creative thinking. Does anything help with that, does that space matter? While reviewing the answers to this question in the publication "Studio Culture Now: Advice and guidance for designers in a changing world", I remembered one given by the Champions Design studio from New York on Wednesday, August 5, 2020, on the 146th day of the Covid-19 quarantine: "Not any more". The definition of studio and workplace is definitely undergoing a revaluation today. From my perspective, not much has changed. Sitting at my desk in my studio in Warsaw's Żoliborz district, I could safely say that there was no pandemic at all, and everything is as usual. With constant curiosity, however, I visit familiar studios or workshops, although nowadays mainly virtually, peeping to see how our space influences the creative process these days.
