“BIŁ-GO-RAJ (BEAT-HIM-PARADISE)”, 2019
installation
The work consists of two boards of the city plan of Biłgoraj, which is divided with a band of moss. The boards were found in the former barn in the artist’s yard. Her family reports show that during the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) a two-part plan decorated the Biłgoraj market. The key word of this work is paradise. In 1606, a song “Poland is a paradise for Jews, hell for peasants, heaven for the nobility” was published in Latin, with grossly anti-Semitic overtones. The vision of Poland as Paradisus Judaeorum is a myth that authorities are happy to use also nowadays. The work refers to this myth, which refutes the evidence of forest murders of Jews by Poles.
