Festival 1997

The American from Chicago decided to recall the context of the festival, i.e the millennium of Gdańsk, in an unambiguous way. The mural is a city landscape from a bird’s-eye view. After the scaffolding had come down, it became obvious that the artist had left out a key element in identifying the Bay of Gdańsk. Hel Peninsula was added from a scissor-lift.
