Oni(2007)

Overview

This film is a kind of experiment conducted by Artur Żmijewski on representatives of four social groups in Poland. He invited people associated with the left wing, elderly ladies strongly expressing their pro-church stance, young representatives of the Jewish minority, and members of the Młodzież Wszechpolska political group to participate in this project. The first task for each group was to create a symbol of the Polish state as they understood it. These symbols were then placed on T-shirts distributed to the project participants. This was followed by a confrontation between all the groups, together with the boards they had previously created with the symbol of Poland, during which further tasks received from the director were performed. Representatives of a given group could, for example, add something to another group's symbol or remove something from it, etc.
