Description:
After 1986, the alleged defeat of "Solidarity" and after the matrial law period, the Polish youth had lost their hopes and illusions. This disappointed youth decided to nihilistically tum their back at the state and politics. They dived into sex, alkohol and music - both metal and punk. This trend was specially visible in small towns. That is why I pasted an older work of mine that depicts Rypin, Teresa's birthplace. Luckily, it turned out that "Solidarity's" defeat was apparent and temporary... (E.D.)
