Summary/Abstract: The text is an experimental combination of a scientific essay and reportage – a kind of literary field study. Following Wojciech Prażmowski’s photographs, the author travels to Solec-Zdrój in search of the place where the “KINO” once stood, as described in Andrzej Stasiuk’s Going to Babadag. Reconstructing the history of this building, the author rereads a key passage from the novel through the lens of Borges’s figure of the Alef.
