Cars, Cars! 1985

This film belongs to a group of works that constitute manifestations of Robakowski’s engaged attitude towards social reality. Here, his interests focus on the rhythm of the city, the dynamics of passing cars, recorded with a fast-panning camera set at a single point. The video recording is accompanied by Robakowski’s voice, commenting off-screen, with constantly varying intonation and speed of uttering words, on what is happening in the street. The energy of the urban landscape is contrasted with the calmness of the space in which the camera is placed, which introduces a tension that reflects the author’s emotional state.

December 13th, 1981 – General Jaruzelski declared martial law in Poland to put an end to the revolt by “Solidarnosc” (Solidarity), the first and only free union in the Eastern Block. It was a genuine people’s movement that counted more than 10 million members in Poland, and that met their aspirations of freedom, social justice, and democracy. The coup d’état was supported by Moscow and created a veritable diplomatic uproar, mobilizing public opinion around the world to come to the aid of Poland.
