The Witkowski artistic duo create projects inspired by everyday family life and social life to an equal extent. In 2005–2006 the couple became interested in the symbolic dimension of architecture, which resulted in the creation of three video works addressing the individuality of urban spaces.

The first, only, best is a video focusing on a neglected park in Chorzów. It shows its lawns, elements of architecture and equipment, as well as monstrous figures of dinosaurs. The video is interspersed with archival photos from the publication documenting the park in Chorzów during its heyday in the 1960s. The narrative, in a dispassionate and monotonous tone, describes a landscape known from the past, humorously contrasted with the present state of the park.
