Summary/Abstract: Dawicki presents the dark side of creating the Performer film after the completion of shooting. After a long and exhausting shooting process and postproduction, the disappointed artist completely loses interest in the final shape the work assumes. He also reminiscences on the retrospective at Art Station, where there was a screening of excerpts from the film and the Artists’ Cemetery project, whose concept was drawn from the script. He emphasises that the film made any modelling of reality an impossibility, and therefore any chance of the film being creatively “pitted against” it is squandered.
