Breathing in art

The installation, which is 22 metres long, 8m wide and 6m high, is filled with a variety of objects including art works collected or produced over the years by artist Robert Kuśmirowski. The project aims to help people "inhale" art.

The installation is a reference to graduation towers, which produce mineral-rich water droplets in the air.

People seeking to improve their health breathe in the droplets, which are considered by many to have beneficial effects, similar to breathing in sea air.

"I think visitors [to the installation] can in a way ‘improve their health’ with art here, but also to catch the bug for collecting things, for searching for items that are difficult to buy now, technologies that have long since passed away," Kuśmirowski said.

The installation will stand in front of the National Museum in Kraków until 29 October.
