My Ukrainian

Krzysztof Janiak, 2013 | Association of Creative Initiatives ę (Poland)

The Internet is nowadays the most important advisor. When we want to buy a new oven, cope with vaccination issues or home refurbishment we ask countless masses of users for their opinions. Krzysztof Janiak read dozens of comments on polish forums for people looking for Ukrainian house help. Poland has long faced employment related migrations to the west. On the other hand – Ukrainian women have been coming for several years now to become the help in middle class homes. They work illegally, below their education and skills. This remix tells about their employers and makes an attempt to imagine that anonymity would be impossible. It’s the story of the power of words.
