Synopsis
Do painters die elsewhere is a deep, emotional human story. Its not a biographical story about a ‚great painter’, we do not use the so-called talking heads, we reject the primacy of chronology. Instead, we immerse ourselves in a multi-layered mosaic of archival material collected by the artist (5h of 8mm tapes, 3h of VH and 3h of tape diaries), which in times of doubt gave Bolko a glimpse of purpose.
Today, thanks to them, we know who Bolesław was, and it is with their help that we try to present his story, reaching for a radically first-person narrative, confronted with actual shots from the artist’s abandoned, nature-devoured wooden fortress. The house, which is a complete extension of Bolkos art craft, a certain attempt to live inside the artwork, and his paintings, are for us a magical magnifying glass, through which in even different way, we can look into Bolkos lonely mind.
