Foksal Gallery, Warsaw, 1995
The projection, held at a gallery located in the annex of the historical Zamoyski Palace in
downtown Warsaw, dealt with public intolerance for homeless immigrants from Romania.
Their appearance in the Polish urban landscape in the mid-1990s was regarded as
problematic and was repressed from the social consciousness. The gallery’s courtyardfacing windows were covered with a wall onto which were projected images of windows. The artist used the technique of photomontage here: into the photographs of the gallery’s characteristic, grilled, exhibition poster-covered windows he pasted pictures taken at a Roma Gypsy camp near the Vistula river. Located at the peripheries, it was one of many similar slum settlements that were usually hurriedly abandoned due to police intervention.
