PLUS MINUS OR FLY TRIPS TO THE EAST

PLUS MINUS, CZYLI PODRÓŻE MUCHY NA WSCHÓD

After 25 years of silence as an artist, Bogdan Dziworski makes a comeback with an extremely personal picture which is a journal of his journey to Georgia. Plus Minus or a Fly’s Trips to the East is a phantasmagorical story about the personality cult of Josef Stalin, a figure of special importance in the artist’s childhood. ‘A long time has passed since I decided to visit the leader’s homeland,’ comments the character off-screen.
