FOTON

This neon is a symbolic commemoration of the Foton factory employee. The factory was situated in Wolska street. The employee had spent all of his adult life in a darkroom, avoiding sunlight. His unusual posture, nor the superhuman strength or his big fangs did not help him in winning over the sympathy of other people.
For many years he had worked in the department of medical radiographic films. Thus it amazed his colleagues, when after making him take an X-ray of himself, he wasn’t visible on the radiograph. After this incident, he supposedly moved to Romania.
It’s not true. If you know the truth, or a better untruth; share it with Dolce Luce.

NORBLIN FACTORY

This neon is a reflection of the dream that Mr Miroslaw – employee at Norblin Factory – had while working there as a polisher. He had spent several years polishing plates, staring for hours and hours at his own reflection, that was getting sharper together with the progress of his work. It caused him to seek for the symmetry axis of the Universe.
When he died (already as Mirrorslaw), he was buried in a mirror coffin. He rests at the Wolski Cemetery, but whether he is in peace – nobody knows.
