A Tale of Two Houses is a film installation that documents the recent demolition of Havelock House, which previously housed Dyczkowska's artist studio. The narrative unfolds through her perspective from the kitchen window, where the two spaces once shared a view. She then transitions outside to capture the demolition process, blending footage from her former neighbourhood with UTV archival material and a performance on the now vacant site.

Dyczkowska's work is deeply personal while also providing a critical reflection on the erosion of cultural spaces in Belfast, a theme she has explored over the past decade.

This work has been made with the support of Arts Council NI and Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive. Late Night Vault is part funded by Belfast City Council and Esmé Mitchell Trust.

The former factory Havelock House was home to Ulster Television from 1959-2018 and Flax Artist Studios from 2018-2022.
