Projects
1513: A Ship's Opera
1513: A Ship's Opera was a Cultureship project for the 2013 Thames festival, made in collaboration by Richard Wilson and Zatorski and Zatorski. The Opera is a performance piece with a cast of 10 historic ships rigged with bells, whistles and horns from various sources. Zatorski and Zatorski have described each rig as "a cargo of lost voices", and the performance is aimed at "celebrating the importance of London’s shared maritime past and present".
Salons
The Salons began in Zatorski and Zatorski's Hoxton studio in 2007 and later moved to De Walvisch. The Salon is described as
:an opportunity to break bread with artists, writers, musicians, scientists and adventurers a club where collaborations form and cultural innovators gather to feast upon new ideas.
