AND THE VILLAGE IS DANCING AND SINGING

What is it you're looking at?
A noisy fairy tale about Wojaszówka - a small village in south-eastern Poland - filtered through "Notes on Camp" by Susan Sontag.
But most of all it is...
An ode to where I come from. To a point on the map twenty kilometers from Krosno, three hundred kilometers from Warsaw and over two thousand three hundred kilometers from Tbilisi. An ode to childhood. A tribute to animals and people. An imaginary dream, an undreamed nightmare. A dream come true. A camp phantasmagoria. A dried up stream of consciousness. Everything and nothing. They're bullshit, they're fake, they're fake. hallucinating. A peasant's delirious dream.
