In the long run — a photographic and editorial study of Warsaw's public clocks across 20 civic locations, surveying the city's timepieces as documents of civic identity, architectural era, and collective memory. Exhibited at Palais de la Porte Dorée, Paris.
A compact spatial index of the documented public clocks, paired with the field research archive that shaped the publication.
Photographs taken across Warsaw's public spaces over the course of the research — from the Royal Castle to Neon Wielka Warszawa. Each clock surveyed as a document of its era, material, and civic context.

A city's clocks are its public memory — each one recording not just time, but the era that made it.

Systematic photographic survey of Warsaw's public clocks across districts — baroque towers, modernist tram stops, socialist-era mechanisms, civic squares. Building a visual archive sorted by location, era, and design character.
Classifying the surveyed clocks by typology, historical period, architectural context, typeface, and civic function. Building the underlying information architecture — the classification system that gives the editorial design its structure and logic.
Designing the visual and typographic framework — large-format grid, type hierarchy, colour system, image integration logic. Building a system that could carry both research rigour and visual narrative simultaneously.
Translating the editorial system into a large-scale physical installation — adapting print spreads for exhibition format, preparing production-ready files, and collaborating with the international academic cohort for the Paris presentation.
The project was selected for international exhibition at Palais de la Porte Dorée in Paris — home to the Musée National de l'Histoire de l'Immigration, one of France's foremost cultural institutions.
The work was exhibited as part of a programme exploring the intersection of civic space, cultural identity, and visual communication — bringing together research from an international academic cohort across Warsaw and Paris.
