Grzegorz Pleszynski

For me, the most important thing is to reach sources of knowledge through art. I am interested in how the culture in which we live is oppressive towards me and other people. At one time, cultures were more oppressive towards individuals, today, it would seem a bit less. Or maybe it's just a semblance? I am looking for these "shells"
imposed by culture or this delicate "powder" that is imposed on our nature. I'm trying to discover the mechanism that governs it. It is necessary to average what is necessary from this oppression, and what we can get rid of as unnecessary ballast associated with, for example, tradition and sometimes too rapid progress.
