Witkacy ID

Who was Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz? Are we able to answer this question? Do we understand his strangeness, perversions and insatiability? Are we able to decipher and understand his games with identity and image? A film essay made with the use of modern technology (for example, videos recorded with a cell phone were used) creates a spiritual image of the writer as seen through the eyes of contemporary scholars of his work and interpreters of his works. The images were recorded at Witkacy's photography exhibition 'Witkacy. Psychoholism' in Krakow's Bunkier Sztuki and during the academic session 'Witkacy: near or far', held on the 70th anniversary of the writer's death at the Museum of Central Pomerania in Slupsk.
