The Thousand-Year Plan presents two distinct social groups in post-war Poland. Screened on a two-channel installation at our Bar, each of these two social groups occupies their own screen, on opposite ends of the room. On one side, a couple of engineers involved in the electrification of rural areas — representing the initial communist regime — on the other, two guerilla soldiers in hiding in the surrounding woods — the anti-communists. A meeting between the four leads them on a poetic questioning over the insecurities brought on by technological advances, but also to a discovery of a shared fascination with electricity and the currents that run through us all.
