They Appeared in The Blue Midnight
3 Channel Video with sound, 11’ 45”
Romanticized violence and fading ideals have shaped an old industrial neighborhood in southern Poland. Kucharski returns to the place where he grew up, reflecting on a youth he observed from the sidelines rather than fully experienced. Through staged scenes and conversations with locals, he creates an idealized portrait of boyhood in his old neighborhood.
