It was inspired by OCM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artist dr. hab. Katarzyna Tretyn from Bydgoszcz University of Technology (Politechnika Bydgoska) visited OCM in June 2025. The visit was a part of a longer stay in Antofagasta, Chile, where dr. Tretyn, together with other international artists, participated in the Biennial Festival of Contemporary Art SACO. This year&#8217;s SACO, version 1.2, took place between June and September 2025 and its theme was &#8220;Dark Ecosystems&#8221; \u2013 the crossover between art and science, exploring the limits of life in extreme conditions. SACO invites artists to display their art in various places all around the Antofagasta city, where the public can get in direct contact with the artists and their art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation of dr. Tretyn, titled <em>The Observatory of Silence<\/em>, was displayed in an empty, raw room. In the center of the room a solitary sculpture made of hundreds of threads tells two tales: a dark cone coming from the sky to the ground, a white cone growing from the ground up towards the sky. The clean and minimalistic esthetics of the installation invites interpretation and reflection. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/oca.camk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-15-at-17.04.27-7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1510\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5009632297512354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oca.camk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-15-at-17.04.27-7.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/oca.camk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-15-at-17.04.27-7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oca.camk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-15-at-17.04.27-7-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oca.camk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-15-at-17.04.27-7-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oca.camk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-15-at-17.04.27-7-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The art installation <em>The Observatory of Silence<\/em>, created by dr.
