Karolina Bregula, winner of the Res Artis residency, presents her film Fire-Followers, in which people from a small town north of Europe suddenly start to fear art and demand a city free of artworks, due to their alleged hazards and harmfulness to the community. The film is shaped as a documentary, even though it is completely staged, thus producing an uncertainty about the accuracy of the story among the spectators. The artist also talks about how the piece deals with the power of art, how art can make us think about things we avoid and would rather not think about, and how it can influence our way of acting.
