One-to-one with Wilhelm Sasnal: Polish Landscape | POLIN Museum

Film accompanying the exhibition Wilhelm Sasnal: Such a Landscape at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
”Talking about the Second World War may serve as a duvet which makes us all feel good,” says Wilhelm Sasnal in conversation with Joanna Fikus, head of the Exhibitions Department at POLIN Museum. What inspired Sasnal to take up the subject of Polish-Jewish relations in his artwork? What is “off” with the pleasant landscape he sees around him, in the country where he was born, lives in, rears his children-the country which he considers a home and the landscape he is imbued with? What will Polish viewers make of the exhibition?
In the first of three talks in the series One-to-one with Wilhelm Sasnal, we meet the world-renowned artist in his studio in Kraków, shortly before the opening of the exhibition at POLIN Museum. Sasnal reveals how the exhibition made its way to the Museum and what it has to do with the history of Polish Jews in conversation with Joanna Fikus, head of POLIN Exhibitions Department.
