The Story Behind

Located in Poland, in the city of the same name, Łancut castle has one of the most beautiful collections of horse-drawn carriages in Europe. Some of these carriages’ harnesses were produced by the house of Hermes, which maintains close relations with the museum. Like many Poles, Jan Bajtlik has visited the castle many times since childhood. Having chosen twenty horse-drawn vehicles, the artist had fun cutting them in two and mixing up the halves as he pleased, like a game of exquisite corpse – or, in this case, exquisite carriages! Simply fold the scarf to join up the correct halves and reassemble the original vehicles.
