The second part of this exhibition was a video recording of a performance in which Paulina drove her car into the BWA exhibition hall and washed it there. The video was projected onto the floor and served as the only lighting for another work using her most important material. It was an installation consisting of a coat hanger and, hanging on it, the artist's coat used for many years, enclosed in a "cover" made of glass. The two parts of the exhibition formed a complementary set of questions and theses, which could be summarized in the sentence - "Am I a bureaucrat who practices art, or perhaps an artist fulfilling bureaucratic functions due to professional necessities, and regardless of the answer - does it bother me or rather help?" It is, I believe, a great courage to reveal oneself so decisively and show one's doubts. Fundamental and decisive, yet referring to the basics of one's own existence. When we grasp the level of these doubts, only then do we understand the distance to oneself, contained in the title. The triumphantly ironic pose of the "artist-bureaucrat" in front of the gallery, proudly presenting her car, also becomes clear.
