One of the two videos included in the work "Pływalnia" (MPOLIN-M1379/1-4); it supplements the large-format photograph documenting the course of the artistic action undertaken in 2003 (MPOLIN-M1379/1). The image, with no sound, is a journalistic record of the action of displaying the inscription on the facade of the building of the former synagogue in Poznań, which serves as the municipal swimming pool. It shows close-ups of the facade of the building with the visible illuminated inscription in Hebrew בריכת־שחײה (Brechat schija, swimming pool) and the surroundings of the building with a projector used to display the phrase, the traffic and passers-by - involuntary, unaware witnesses. The quality of the video, far from being perfect and up to the current filming standards, is a testimony to the time when the artistic action was carried out and the work was created. The colour video is suitable for loop playback.
