The works presented in the exhibition are united by a search for a new definition of home – a concept that today drifts between physical refuge, digital archive and planetary necessity. In Liam Young's "Planet City", shelter for 10 billion people takes the form of a single hyper-dense metropolis – a gesture of relinquishing our dominion over the planet in order to save it. In Joanna Zabielska's "Postgranicze", home and identity prove to be rooted in the whispers of the Podlasie land, where personal testimonies intertwine with myths, reminding us that landscape shapes memory as powerfully as politics. In "Lili", the domestic refuge is transformed into a space of total surveillance, and the audience – stepping into the role of hackers – must confront the mechanisms of complicity in evil. We are also accompanied by non-human guides: "Future Botanica" invites us to co-create new forms of life at the meeting point of nature and code, while "Ancestors" turns the smartphone into a bridge between today's decisions and the lives of people two hundred years from now. The exhibition confronts us with the thought that what only yesterday seemed a distant future is becoming our everyday reality – and calls for a new, attentive presence.
