O rany, mamo, umrę na raka płuc, a wtedy na pewno dostanę nagrodę specjalną za całokształt
Dammit, Mama, I’m going to die of lung cancer, and that’s when they’ll give me a lifetime achievement award

Summary/Abstract: Interest in the work of Christoph Schlingensief rose in Poland after a presentation in the German pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale. The project was initially led by the artist himself, but after his death the concept for the pavilion changed. Wójtowicz describes Schlingensief’s suggestions, and uses them as a basis for his analysis of the final effect – the pavilion became a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Schlingensief, in which pride of place was given to an installation from the performance The Church of Fear of the Alien in Me: Fluxus Oratorium. The author is critical of this idea.
