“Pegasus is an exceptionally beautiful creature, almost perfect — wild, meaning untamed, unbridled, free, independent — truly majestic, yet never frozen in the pose of foolish rulers.”*
Pegasi in the madness of summer — it’s already been a year of grazing at Pole Mokotowskie!
On August 21, 2024, the Pegasi landed at Pole Mokotowskie, on the meadow belonging to the National Library.
As you can see in the attached photographs, the second life of the Pegasi unfolds in beautiful natural surroundings. One might be tempted to call it wild and untamed — yet the meadow and the well-being of the plants around the National Library are carefully tended by Katarzyna Ostenda. Each year, wildflowers and other plants are sown here, including species with tick-repellent properties, making it (reportedly) safe to lie down on the grass.
