Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue (public project)
[slide-show, 12']
The history of the Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue action, i.e. the story of an artificial palm tree at Warsaw's central De Gaulle Roundabout which stropped of neutrality the name of one of Warsaw's main streets - its meaning unexpectedly turned out to be unpleasant. The project speaks on whether and how it is possible to constructively work through a heavy, stereotype-based, atmosphere of interpersonal relations. It also attempts to find out whether it is possible to create a point of reference for the inhabitants of Warsaw that would open up new communication possibilities.
