The Kiss of Love
The Kiss of Love documents a performative project in which the artist offered to exchange clothes with homeless men from Poznań, and later incorporated the garments received in his works. This action was an attempt to establish a deeper relationship with people pushed to the margins of society. The unconventional act of exchange required entering the intimate space of another person, crossing physical and emotional boundaries.
