The Cisza installation by Łukasz Berger on Wólczańska Street is a work of street art created in 2015. Made from unconventional materials—half a tonne of steel rods—it offers visitors an interesting example of contemporary public art in Łódź.
On the facade of a building at ul. Wólczańska 13 in Łódź is a work easily mistaken for a classical mural, though it contains not a trace of paint. It is the Cisza installation, created by Łukasz Berger in 2015 from 1,300 metal rods.
The rods are stainless steel, ranging in length from 2 to 60 centimetres, chemically anchored perpendicular to the wall and arranged with increasing density so that together they form the word CISZA. The entire structure weighs half a tonne. The artist is Łukasz Berger, a graduate of the Sculpture Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, who combines graphics, murals, sculpture and spatial installations in his work.
The portal describes this work as a mural, but this is imprecise: Cisza is a three-dimensional public art installation, not a wall painting. It belongs to the artist's Spoken Installations cycle, which combines concrete poetry with visual effect. The rods cast changing shadows depending on the time of day and the position of the sun.
The installation stands on ul. Wólczańska, one of the main streets in Łódź city centre.
