It explores borders, smuggling and Polish commercial tourism in the 1970s-1990s, drawing on her research into black markets and underground commerce in communist Poland. The work features a musical score by Ewa and is performed with Japanese artist Kazumi Nishimura. It begins in the Main Gallery and continues in the Clore Studio.
