Panorama

The outline of a figure emerges from a kind of snowstorm. Dust blends with the white matter that descends as work is carried out on a gigantic sculpture, which will soon find its place of honour in a village community. It’s being dismantled for transportation. A huge, gently smiling head is suspended in the air before it starts its long journey along Poland’s country roads, past towns, villages, houses. Figure is a surreal story about religious myths, the construction of power and desire for greatness.
