„KŁIR” I OBRAZ SŁABY W FILMIE HAIR MARKA PIWOWSKIEGO
POLISH KIND OF QUEER AND THE WEEK IMAGE IN "HAIR", THE DOCUMENTARY FILM BY MAREK PIWOWSKI

Summary/Abstract: The text is an analysis of Marek Piwowski‟s documentary film Hair (1971). Full of comical failures, the report from an international hairdressing contest has become a pretext for the director to expose disrupted communication between the authorities and society. The ironic tone and the use of the “week image” allowed him to queer sabotage of the official message. The author uses a polonised term “kłir” to distinguish the style of Piwowski from the camp aesthetics and to fix the document not only in the paradigm of “art of failure”, but also in the social context of PRL.
