„[…] In 2002 the artist placed on billboards a blurred inscription SEUCHENSPERRGEBIET (“a territory endangered with epidemics”), which, at the time of the Second World War, had been put on boards in Jewish ghettos. The font used by the artist could recall the font of the German typewriter “Erika.” The inscription, enigmatic for the majority of Poles, suggested that the epidemic had taken place in reality, taking into consideration the fact that a huge part of the Jewish population had been exterminated and faded into oblivion.” [Karol Sienkiewicz, November 2006/www.culture.pl]
