RELATED WORKS

Oskar Dawicki
Speech is Silver

A silver cast of the artist’s gullet.

Slavs and Tatars
Lahestan Nesfeh Jahan

Lahestan Nesfeh Jahan (literally, “Poland, Half the World”) commemorates the forgotten World War II episode of Polish refugees to Iran when Esfahan came to be known as the City of Polish Children. The text is a revision of the city’s legendary slogan, perhaps one of the most famous in Persian, “Esfahan Nesfeh Jahan” (“Esfahan, Half the World”).

Slavs and Tatars
Bandari String Fingerling

The daily taming of hair is an act of civilization, battling the unruliness of the body. In this sense the rituals of daily existence, such as combing one’s hair, echo as objects the counsel of the Mirrors for Princes genre.

Oskar Dawicki
Tree of Knowledge

The work inspired by the biblical story of the Tree of Knowledge was first created for the Manifesta 7 exhibition in Roverto (2008) as a night-time camera performance during which the artist took a bite out of all the fruit of an apple tree.
