THE GALLERY
POLISH TITLE: GALERIA
REPRESENTED BY KFF
A black and white line, with only a few accents within a bright red stain, forms a satirical parable on the consumer habits of modern society. Today, a real man and a real woman find the true meaning of life in a shopping mall. Their shopping spree is sparked by the sheer volume of mass-produced goods. Laden like ants with these goods they return to their super-car and get back to their super-anthill. But did not they lose something on the way in this chaos?
