Egoiści. Inna kontrkultura
The Egotists. A different counterculture

Summary/Abstract: Marcin Kościelniak analyses performances from the late 1960s and the 1970s, focusing in particular on the work of Helmut Kajzar, Krystian Lupa and Krzysztof Niemczyk. He also examines the work of their inheritors, working in the created in the 1980s. Using it as a basis, the author states that apart from the broadly accepted communal, strong historical narration focused on independence, functioning in the period 1968-1989, one can construct a feeble and ephemeric anti-historical narrative, whose protagonists would be artists deliberately working in the spirit of selfishness and protecting their individuality and privacy.
