Please Wait While I Disappear explores memory, impermanence and the processes through which the past is reconstructed. The exhibition reflects on the ambiguity of historical knowledge, where facts intertwine with imagination, personal experience and speculation. The past emerges as a constantly shifting structure, its successive layers revealing both traces of former realities and contemporary attempts to interpret them. Adrianna Gajdziszewska employs biomimicry as an artistic strategy for examining the relationships between nature, technology and memory. Rather than imitating biological forms, she reconfigures their structures and adaptive mechanisms, creating objects that resemble artefacts from the future or remnants of alternative evolutionary processes. Organic codes intertwine with the geology of memory, blurring the boundaries between the natural and the artificially transformed. Situated between archaeological discovery and speculative visions of the future, the works resist definitive interpretations of reality. Instead, they construct a world in a constant state of transformation. The exhibition reflects on impermanence, mutation and adaptation, as well as the human condition within an ever-changing network of interdependencies.

The project was also presented in Berlin in 2026 as part of 48 Stunden Neukölln, an international contemporary art festival.
