Tomorrow
The drawings commisioned for Tomorrow never dies group show in the frame of European Culture Congress in Wrocław (PL), 2011

“(...) 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). Beside the notion of tomorrow in their titles, both films starring Zbyszek Cybulski. The actor, who died tragically in Wrocław in 1967, played in many films produced in Wrocław's Feature Film Studio. The former buildings of this Studio hosted European Culture Congress in 2011.
