Short Tautological Films / Krótkie filmy tautologiczne, since 2001


Short video performance acts. They have also been called video-haiku. They refer to video art tradition. Funny. The artist announces weather conditions, the time of day, or comments on temperature or light to the camera. The cycle begins with the film Wiatr / Wind from 2001, which shows the artist standing on a ship, rough sea behind him, and uttering a single sentence: “The wind is blowing.” The latest film from the cycle is Wysoko / High, shot on the Empire State Building in New York on 2006.
