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 Past can be read as a symbolic depiction of two political systems and transformations that have occurred with the emergence of new opportunities and moods within Polish society. The work is an ironic take on the history of abandoned and forgotten spaces.
