The above Architectural Composition with Showroom 2013 separates the two parts of Wladyslaw Strzeminski's 1928 Architectural Composition 6b, and eachis drawn on adjacent walls of the Fcatory 49 showroom. Each is located so that if the walls were snapped together, the actual space would be deleted again to remake (an enlarged drawing of) Strzeminski's painting.

The purpose of separating the two parts and inserting the actual space of the Showroom into the earlier composition is to acknowledge the actual space that is disregarded in the spatial autonomy characteristic of conventional artforms. Strzeminski and co-artist Katarzyna Kobro questioned these conventions in the 1920s, discussing them using the term unizm. This project aims to recognise the foresight of such early twentieth century artists, while reflecting the greater urgency that their spatial concerns now have with the rise in sea temperatures and other signs of the blind disregard modern culture has for the inhabitability of the planet.
