The work is an example of the artist's formal experiments, which explored various photographic techniques. The presented montage of two works is a juxtaposition of an analog photomontage of a photo of football fans during a match, whom the artist multiplied by arranging them in the shape of a hill, and an actual landscape captured during a trip to Stockholm.
Work shown at the exhibition Marek Gardulski - works from 1974-1979, ZPAF Gallery, Cracow (1991).
