Prophecy II. Reconstruction of the Living Monument on the 20th Anniversary of the Polish March 1968

17 III 1988

Krzysztofory gallery, Kraków

 

Description of the manifestation:

The manifestation is an exact reconstruction of Prophecy II from 1968. At the end, the author, standing atop the pyre, addresses the audience: This is a special opportunity to talk to the sculpture, because, as the saying goes: The old man spoke to the painting, but the painting never spoke to him. This time I would like to break that pattern and give you the opportunity to ask the sculpture some questions.

Since no one volunteers, the author unties the wooden stocks that connect him to the entire structure. He writes the word CZAS (TIME) on his naked body in blue paint and declares: I believe the prophecy indicated that time is on our side. Thank you. He steps down from the pyre.
