About work

Wroclaw, 1979

Lying naked on floor tiles under a heavy curtain, with the aid of a torch I read into a microphone a chapter from „A History of Poland" dedicated to the Polish romantic resistance movement. This I did as long as my breath would allow. In one corner of the gallery two assistants, Czech and Polish, read passages from Czech and Polish newspapers on the political activities in both countries from that time.
