Along the Bystrzyca River, an array of metal masts supports kinetic objects that sway in the wind, catch the sun’s reflections, emit sounds, and respond to atmospheric conditions and the presence of passers-by. I have reimagined the traditional weather station as a poetic assemblage of object-instructions, inviting the observation and interpretation of phenomena through sensory engagement, imagination, and attentive presence.

As night falls, luminous points light up the masts, transforming the station into a star-like constellation. Visitors can step inside, pause for a moment, and “assess” the weather—both external and internal.
