Bracia Quay skąd tacy? albo Droga braci Quay do Schulza

How to write about the Quay Brothers, their films, drawings frozen in frames, the spaces formed in theatrical, ballet, and opera settings? Should one explain, analyze, replace images with words? Is it fair to “blur the picture,” as it often happens with the works of Bruno Schulz read by critics? The essay does not provide answers to these questions,but reconstructs a certain course of events, their traces, and consequences. Since the author has known the Quay Brothers in person, she can search for phenomena hidden under the surface of the visible. She tells the reader about what she has learned from many conversations with the Brothers, enjoying an unusual symbiotic relationship with them, contributing to their films and a book.
