Zbigniew Warpechowski , member of the group Black Market, co-operated with Zderzak Gallery /Poland.

The dramaturgy of the shows of this vanguard artist creates concrete abjects as well as words, incantations and rhythm. Warpechowski is the radical critic of contemporary culture. The sense of mission in his works is a heritage of the main stream in Polish art, with Romanticism as the source. In 1992 the artist made the first performance in the Gallery - elegiac sign before loss of memory. The picture shows the moment in which the performer carries the body of The dead poet drown out from the mud.
