Signum
Poland2015animated14'Retrospektywa Witolda Giersza (2017)
Paintings painted by the first artists thousands of years ago revive in a rock cave. Both human and animal figures join in highly expressive motions. The motif of escape and pursuit of the victim is reinterpreted anew and puts in motion all the paintings that froze in silence centuries ago. Extremely dynamic and autothematic, Signum is a manifestation of the primeval and eternal human need to express oneself through pictures.
