Burial of the Time Capsule

During NARRACJE Festival Maryna Tomaszewska proposed a participatory project that invited the audience to place their gifts in a time capsule. These small objects act as physical representations of our lives, dreams, fears, love and hate affairs. Together with the festival participants, the artist created a collection of personal trinkets that were placed in a capsule and buried in the Przeróbka suburb in Gdańsk. The collected objects created a symbolic monument of our time. Dug out in tens or hundreds of years, they may become an archaeological treasure or an incomprehensible scrap of history. What gifts did we leave to people from the future?
