Galeria Raczej, Poznań, 2014 Referring to the phenomenon of creolisation, O.Ch. carried out a performance: he handed out envelopes to 50 viewers. Inside were the flags of all European countries, including Ukraine (one flag per envelope), cut into tiny squares. He then asked the participants to scatter or lay out the contents of the envelopes within an area on the floor. The area was a projection — a white rectangle. When everyone had finished, O.Ch. went over to the computer and turned on the next image, a simplified map of Europe with borders marked. It was possible to view the resulting arrangement of a different distribution of countries on the map. photo below by Sonia Firlej
