The Last Ball is a performance of ecological activism realised in 2020 at plac Grunwaldzki in Szczecin. Oskar Chmioła walked along the middle of the roadway against traffic, towards oncoming cars, carrying a potted plant in one hand and a flashlight blinking every second in the other. He concluded the action by planting the plant in the lawn beneath the historic clock.
