From My Window

The work was made on the basis of a dozen or more hours of footage shot during 1978–1999. The artist filmed the square in front of his block of flats in ‘Manhattan’ in Łódź. The images are accompanied by the artist’s empathic commentary, which brings the viewer closer to his neighbours and family, including his then-wife, Małgorzata Potocka. The film comments on the political and social transformations that had taken place in Poland during the two decades.
