NY,NY 2007

Series of photographs of balloons was inspired by Andy Warhol's silver pillows. I saw a footage of him releasing silver, helium filled, pillows from windows of his first Silver Factory. On February 2007, 20th anniversary of his death my friend, Ania Szczerbak and I released silver and gold large stars next to the Decker Building at Union Square. Then I followed realising them from Brooklyn Bridge, Staten Island Ferry, East River from Greenpoint and in Kepno, Poland.
Releasing balloons has for me also very emotional sides- connects me with my childhood memory and one of letting go. It is a lot of joy also.
