Plates

Poland, 2007
Enamel, steel, outdoor project

The plates were produced at a company that specializes in making enamel plates very characteristic for the official administrative institutions buildings in Poland.
Instead of information that usually indicates the institution’s name (for instance “Ministry of Defence”) I inserted biblical quotes of Gospel related to forgiveness, religious hypocrisy, tolerance and love.
On the first image one of my plates saying:
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. /Matthew 6, 1-6/
My plate is hanging right under the original plate of the Town Hall of Bytom (town in Silesia).
