Exercise

A vaulting horse, known to all of us from our schooldays, in Agnieszka Popek- Banach and Kamil Banach’s artwork – covered with spikes – was depicted as an instrument of torture rather than a gymnastics apparatus. The object must have evoked bitter-sweet memories from childhood in many visitors. The couple of artists succeeded in showing a bitter truth in a funny form – it is impossible to jump above many of the obstacles we come across in life.
