Heavy Weight History. 2013
Installation, video, 25:46 min
Rich in both humor and pathos, this work consists of video footage and photographs of active members of the Polish national weightlifting team trying to lift monumental public sculptures in Warsaw. Only a few of the huge sculptures can be lifted by some of the nation's most powerful athletes in a team effort. The work symbolizes the great weight of the history that a nation's people believe they share.
