In 2018, Karolina Breguła found herself in a partly torn down house, whose demolition had been temporarily halted. She invited a group of friends to lend her a hand in tidying up the mess in one of the apartments. They spent a few days thoroughly cleaning and furnishing the place, which made it look like someone was living there. Breguła only used the equipment left by the residents of the building to furnish the apartment.
Descriptions of buildings earmarked for demolition can be found in the book Exercises in Losing Control on pages 83–86.
The history of the project Tided Apartment in Chang An Xi Road is described in the book Exercises in Losing Control on pages 17–19.
