Initially created for the Hamburger Bahnhof museum in Berlin, The Demon’s Brain takes inspiration from a historical mail exchange from the official salt mines in 15th century Poland: “An early capitalistic enterprise that was functioning within the background of the society,” Agnieszka Polska explains. To operate the mines were burning coal and wood, used hired labour and taking more and more debts. Polska elaborates: “An idea that links it to how contemporary cooperation’s or a bank function with immaterial capital.”
