SQUARING THE CIRCLE
POLISH TITLE: KWADRATURA KOŁA
At first glance, it seems that SQUARE lives among chaos and andless changes. But next, we can notice that the systems in which he functions, are constantly repeated, introduce a routine, hypnotize without allowing any movement. Once, a new element sneaks into the pattern, which for a moment will allow SQUARE to look a little differently at reality.
SQUARING THE CIRCLE is full of graphic metaphors, a semi-abstract story about an impossible feeling.
