2006 • 15 min

During an evening meeting of the Young Creative Workshop Encounters (held December 1971 in Elbląg, Poland), an argument divided the group of artists.

Each team watched as the other made a move, and fourteen were made in total over three hours. Documented through photographs and text, Kweik and Kulik presented this material as a narrated slideshow in the 1970s-80s, and in 2006 recreated this in the form of a digital video.
