Presented in the former Pasino Greenhouses, Ghost Orchid explores the goals and constraints of creativity, material innovation, and the passage of time. Marcin Rusak’s 3D-printed PLA sculptures, inspired by the flower breeding process, reflect the tension between preservation and transformation.
Developed in collaboration with the Łukasiewicz Institute for Engineering of Polymer Materials and Dyes, the project integrates pioneering biodegradation research. Custom bioreactors and enzyme-bacterial systems activate controlled decomposition, turning the exhibition into a dynamic exploration of material life cycles.
