Video 00:40, loop
Video captures a moment when the wind blows and animates a torn fragment of a poster attached to the fence. The image on the remaining piece shows a raised, clenched fist. This recording I took after one of many protests that took place in Poland over last 3 years. Waves of protests (which I also attended) were direct reaction to the abortion law restrictions.
Leftovers after the protest that can be found on the streets provide specific archeological, or rather anarcheological, material.

Hand axe – in Polish “pięściak” derived from “pięść” meaning “fist” – is a form of all-purpose prehistoric stone tool. As hand axes can be recycled, resharpened and remade, they could have been used for varied tasks. For this reason it may be misleading to think of them as axes, they could have been used for tasks such as digging, cutting, scraping, chopping, piercing, hammering and many other purposes.
