The artist worked closely with the Fluxus movement. In 2008 he decided to totally remodel his own dental set, with the help of the Krakow dentist Grzegorz Herbut, MD. He combined the teeth removed with reproductions of illustrations taken from a manual of dentistry and with plastic toys, creating two collages that documented his experiences in the dentist’s chair. He gave one of the works to the Krakow dentist as a present.
