Exceeding historical narratives was the intention of Great Love Collective (Kamila Czosnyk and Jerzy Norkowski), whose performance titled Ruts confronted the stories of the artists’ families on both sides of the war barricade.

By inhaling laughing gas and simultaneously insisting on posing questions about the contemporary significance of nationality in general and Polishness in particular, the artists ultimately reduce the entire debate to the limits of comprehensibility and absurdity.
