Tomorrow
The drawings commisioned for Tomorrow never dies group show in the frame of European Culture Congress in Wrocław (PL), 2011
in the collection of Contemporary Museum Wrocław
“(...) I also wanted to say something about Poland. It is nice there, because you are always waiting. Everything is being built, nothing is ever finished. There is always tomorrow there. (...) For some, that tomorrow will be some other regime, for others, it will be an achievement of power in that regime, which takes place now. But nobody realises one thing, because it’s difficult: that there will be nothing tomorrow, because tomorrow is a fraud, there is only today.”
Sławomir Mrożek, Diary volume I, 1962-1969, s. 105, Kraków 2010.
The drawings are based on stills from the films Mexico Tomorrow (Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski, 1965) and Good Bye, Till Tomorrow (Janusz Morgenstern 1960). Besides the notion of tomorrow, what the two titles have in common is Zbyszek Cybulski. He plays in a lot of Polish films produced in Wrocław's Feature Film Studio. In its buildings European Culture Congress took its place in September 2011.
