Each individual in a city is creating his/her own movement space inside a huge pattern of a common urban structure that is written unconsciously into the collective memory. This Red Carpet shows the symmetrical ground plan of Plac Defilad and the Palace of Culture and Science in its middle in the centre of Warsaw. Built as a gift from the Soviet Union in socialist classicism from 1952 to 1955, many Poles have an ambivalent feeling to this place and building. The over-sized cut-out of the red carpet, that I have taken from the congress hall of the Palace of Culture and Science, relates how deeply the urban and temporal structure of the central square mark the city centre and how deeply its structure has been imprinted in the collective memory of Varsovian (from 1952 – 2016). Today, the Museum of Modern Art is being built here and changes the spatial impression enormously.
