Święto Kobiet (red letter day for polish women), PL-Kraków, 2004

Duration 3 hours

Description of action On the 8th of March, the red letter day for polish woman, I am standing on the Karmelicka street in Krakow in a crowed traffic situation. My wool dress is rolled up and uncover the intimate part of my body, that is wrapped in pampers (like beggars are showing their illness on streets). A hospital stand on wheels surrounds me and keep my hands stiff in a straight position. I look like a handicapt person. With my not moveable and from the coldness grey hands I held a sign: “Jestem Kobietą – Bóg zapłać” - similar to: “I am a woman – thank god (in the meaning of getting money)”. On my nails I have red tips as a present and fashion sign of a sexy woman.
