‘Metropolis is not a proper name, but a collection of attributes. A notion rather than a place. Composed entirely of exceptions, contradictions, nonsense, it reveals the construction of human desires and fears. It can be a curse or — like in Roman Maciuszkiewicz's paintings — a dream; a niche in space-time of imagination, in which reality intermingles with dream. We find ourselves in a mad architect's workshop.’
Violetta Sajkiewicz — fragment
