Description : The video was produced in 1994 as an experimental work showing the documentation of a happening on the streets of Krakow. The viewer can watch different reactions of the passers-by. The idea of this work was to show what happens when individual’s personality meets social situations like those on the streets of the city, to show a confrontation of an artist with an accidental passer-by. This work was influenced by Eastern European existentialism, Polish happening and experimental theatre of Jerzy Grotowski and Tadeusz Kantor.
