The title of the exhibition Technocomplex is a term borrowed from archeology and refers to a collection of found objects from a specific cultural period within a certain geographical space. In her show Madejska deals with architectural, political and ideological space of the City of London, the so called Square Mile. The City of London is an enclave and historical and economical core of Greater London. Over centuries the City has been granted political and judicial privileges, a status which has been embraced by the financial and investment sector. The boundaries of the City are marked by 11 iron cast dragons placed on tall plinths, which a passer-by can only see from below. Anna Gritz writes in her essay Ballsy (1): „In her new series, Madejska focuses on these curious insignias of power through photographing the dragons from below using a close crop of the testicles in question. The perspective of the wandering observer is one that she has occupied herself on her many walks of the perimeters of the city, walks that she has been undertaking with increased frequency in the wake of the EU referendum, pondering the City’s stake and role in the pending divorce.” (1) Published on the occasion of the exhibition Technocomplex at Parrotta Contemporary Art, Stuttgart.
