Event description
The exhibition consists of 12 paintings and an object, referring to the subject and the idea of a jumping rope. The pictures are unusual portraits of well known and public figures, shown in their young age when nobody knew how their lifeline will develop and twist. You will see, among others, Lech and Jarosław Kaczyński, Adam Michnik, Andrzej Lepper, Ryszard Terlecki, Leszek Miller, Krzysztof Zanussi, Tadeusz Rydzyk. It turns out, that they were all quite similar to each other in their younger days. Their leap into the future appears to be ambivalent.
