The open‑air museum Europos Parkas has launched a new exhibition presenting works by Polish artists, inviting visitors to an immersive contemporary art experience.

Artist Piotr Zamojski, who began his creative path in Gdańsk, works across diverse methods – from wall painting to sculptural forms. His latest work at Europos Parkas, a sculptural installation of anagrams, intertwines language play with spatial experience.

“I often try to capture the atmosphere of a place – the Genius Loci. My work is like an answer or a dialogue with the given situation,” explains the artist.

The concept of the piece is to create anagrams from the museum’s name EUROPOS PARKAS. Using its thirteen letters, Zamojski generates new meanings and words. The first anagram is USE A PROP OR ASK.

“I would like to invite visitors to participate. I want to create a kind of social game, a dialogue,” he says.

The sculpture is not static – it will continuously evolve. The order of letters will be rearranged, the chosen phrase will shift into another, and over time traces of previous inscriptions will remain visible on the grass.

“After a few months, the traces of earlier anagrams will be seen on the grass, which is also important – to see what was written before. In fact, this is an open project,” Zamojski explains.

A crucial aspect of the work is its connection to place. The artist analyzes geographical, sociological, and linguistic contexts, seeking to sense the spirit of the site.

“Language is a very important aspect. I often try to use the local language. In this case I started with English, because Europos Parkas by its very name is a multilingual place, but I hope that perhaps the next anagram will be in Lithuanian,” he notes.

The work can be described as change, self‑motion, a slow, steady drift of letters that generates new meanings.

“The sculpture is not fixed. It will be moved, but slowly, step by step, and of course the order of letters will be changed – both in the line and in space,” emphasizes Zamojski.

Sharing his impressions of Europos Parkas, the artist recalls:

“I first visited Europos Parkas in summer and was deeply impressed by the quality of the exhibited works, the size of the area, and the atmosphere of the place, which resembles a real forest rather than an artificial park. Now I have come for the second time – in winter. It is a completely different feeling, with some snow remaining. I like this place a lot, and I am honored and glad to get invitation to create this work.”

Zamojski’s Anagrams at Europos Parkas represent a process of transformation and rewriting, not on paper but within the natural environment. Much like palimpsests – parchments or papyri once reused by erasing one text and writing another – the installation allows visitors to encounter a meadow where something has been “written,” yet can be rewritten anew by changing the sequence of letters, the meaning of words, and the form of the artwork. It is a piece realized through collective creativity, involving not only the artist but also the viewer.
