SWING, installation, Memorial to the Berling Army Soldiers, Warsaw, September 20th, 2008. The installation "Swing" was a part of public space project "Carousel Slide Swing". The project aimed to pursue a dialog with memorials that served as communist propaganda. Although such memorials have been consigned to the historical scrap heap, we can still meet them in the streets and parks. To suggest a change in the function of the monuments was an attempt to build a bridge between the present and the past, to add a contemporary layer distinct from their original style and function. The idea of Swing is based on a contrast between the monumental bronze Berling Army Soldier and a tiny individual swung by a big hand of history. It is a monument from a former era, but at the same time - from the Berling Army soldier's point of view - it is a well-deserved tribute paid to his sacrifice. This is an example of how much history can differ from the perspectives of individual and collective memory. My aim is to make this complexity and ambiguity more conspicuous, to show the relation between an individual versus the historical machine. [K.S.]
