The work is both a statement about the Lublin region and
a political and social commentary. We therefore refer to the incident
in Lubartów where a young activist from Lublin got into a minor discussion with
President Duda. A discussion that once again revealed the logical errors of present
national authorities in the subject of counteracting climate change.
The action is based on the preparation of a piece of news about recent government activities
aimed at combating global warming by gradually cooling the climate.
The news proclaim that they would implement these assumptions by converting wind farms through
installation of new blades (visually resembling those known from office fans).
It is also not without significance that the government sees power in coal energy and in
Territorial Defense Forces. For this purpose, we have created a visualization
of the solution, and thus, we created the figure of the deputy minister of the environment -
Krzysztof B. Zefirek, who, personifying the features of politicians from the turn of the millennium,
speaks at a press conference.
Our action is to illustrate the fine line at this moment
between fake news and the latest reports from the Sejm. We used techniques
of manipulating the content and reports from the country, commonly used by
pro-governmental media. The video construction gradually adds further information burdens,
changing this balance all the time. Social immunity to the absurd delays the moment
when we verify what is and what does not have to be true.
