The video you are looking for is no longer available.

Supermarket is a video performance KwieKulik realized in Stuttgart when they were invited to the group exhibition, ‘New Art from Poland’, at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart. 
During the action, they strolled through a supermarket (full of ‘foreign’ goods) with a supermarket cart, occasionally putting products into their cart, whilst discussing the totally absurd and completely disproportionate exchange rate between Polish currency and the Deutsche Mark; afterwards, they put the goods back onto the shelves, eventually leaving the shop with their hands empty. This work came into being as a result of the contrast experienced by the artists between the shortage of goods in Poland and their excess in the West.
