description: Photo session in Jerzy Bereś’s studio at Siemaszki Street in Kraków, during which Jerzy Bereś launches the sculptures "God’s Hand" (1972), the session involves Jerzy Bereś and three young women, including Maria Socha (Potocka). They surround the sculpture, which is set in motion (pendulum). The women are lying on the floor in front of the sculpture, Bereś is lying behind the sculpture. "God’s Hand" is a participatory sculpture. It was purchased by the Milanese gallerist Arturo Schwarz in 1973. Schwarz planned to create the Museum of the Avant-Garde of Eastern Europe, but the plan was not realized. After many years, he sold his collection at auction. From that moment on, the fate of the sculpture is unknown.
