poravanju nečije ‘ispravnosti’ i na odustajanju
od osuđivanja. Intuicija i imaginacija
prihvaćaju potisnute i osporene fantazije,
želje i potrebe, i pomažu u potrazi za
načinima njihovog zadovoljavanja. Odricanje
od uloge suca otkrit će naše kolektivno
i individualno sudioništvo u nepravdi
sistema. Onda to više neće biti “oni” nego
mi koji ćemo dijeliti odgovornost za to
kako naša zajednička stvarnost izgleda”.
Navodeći moguće zajedničke i buduće
projekte, Sierakowski predlaže: “Ako želite,
otputovat ćemo zajedno na Mjesec”. I dok
na prvi pogled odlazak na mjesec zvuči kao
“banialuka”, uz kolektivni trud moguće je
ostvariti i to.
The initial conversations, the later oppositions
and then direct confrontations indicate
the impossibility of mutual tolerance
and coexistence of diverse and contrary
orientations and ways of thinking. The
model of the workshop, the studio, which
attended in his student days with Professor
Grzegorz Kowalsky, creates a context
in which through the use of visual symbols
the mechanisms of hatred, exclusion and
intolerance are revealed.
Żmijewski thinks that art can be a socially
effective tool that provides knowledge and
testimony and rejects the autonomy of art
as a discipline that is devoid of social and
cognitive procedures. In the manifesto
Applied Social Arts Żmijewski states: “We all
lost out on our failure to use the cognitive
procedures developed by art to any greater
extent. Procedures based on intuition and
imagination, procedures based on denying
one’s righteousness and giving up
judgementalism. Intuition and imagination
embrace repressed and denied fantasies,
desires and needs, and help search for
ways to satisfy them. Renouncing the role
of judge will reveal our collective and individual
complicity in the injustice of the
system. Then it will no longer be “them”
but us who will share responsibility for
the way in which our common reality appears.”
Stating possible joint and future projects,
Sierakowski proposes: “If you like, we’ll
travel to the moon together”. And while at
the first glance a trip to the moon sounds
like ‘banialuka’, with collective effort, even
a journey to the moon can be brought off.
