Summary/Abstract: The author presents a vast, and constantly developed artistic project of Maciej Linttner, whichthe title closet represents. It contains chests in which the artifacts collected, transformed and createdby the artist (including literary works) are being stored. The author of the article pays specialattention to the communicative aspects. On the one hand, in Linttner’s work she discerns theconception of a weak subject — a nomadic subject thrown into the postmodern grid without anyhierarchy, but on the other hand, she sees the necessity of the creative contribution the recipientshave to make to compile the selected senses for their own use. Linttner experiments, persistentlytrying to identify himself. Simultaneously, the artist believes in the universal character of theconveyed message and, aware of the risk, he submits to the verifying power of time.
