The theoretical part of the publication includes texts that analyze and interpret Bodzianowski's work. Catherine Wood explores how the artist transforms everyday situations into unreal moments, while Jarosław Suchan notices a continuation of avant-garde thought that has made participation in shaping reality an artistic priority. Suzan Titz describes the influence of inspirations from Antwerp and encounters with the works of Magritte, Broodthaers, and the Surrealists on the Polish artist's art.

Cezary Bodzianowski, through years of his work, consistently realizes an original artistic vision. His works, although ephemeral, leave a lasting mark in the memory of the audience, prompting reflection on the nature of art and its role in everyday life. The album "This Place Is Called Jama" is not only a documentation of his work but also an invitation to participate in an artistic experiment that is constantly taking place in urban space.
