text in composition: Ogni pensiero [every thought] is an exception to the general rule,
which is not to think].
"I think that art, perhaps even more than science, is able to bring man into the deepest layers of consciousness. It is not only a witness to life and thinking, but a driving force for our emotional and intellectual development. [...]
I am personally interested above all in the grotesque and stark contrast existing today between the increasingly dizzying technological development and the immutability of primitive and elementary human passions and instincts."
Eugeniusz Markowski (statement from 1988)
