”Breaking, digesting, crackling, melting,

dissolving, moving, ringing, 

remaining, floating, decomposing. 

Above the surface the sound stops. 

There is the shore, the remains. 

(De)composing traces is focusing on the similarities of life cycles in nature through a comparison of seashells and plastic. One born in the sea, the other manmade on land, they cross paths in the oceans and dissolve, degrade, destruct over time: From raw materials they take form naturally or are manufactured, thereafter  degrading to calcium carbonate, micro-plastic by nature and us. Klaudia Kaźmierczak’s installation offers the opportunity to reflect on the materials and environments around us.
