POLO SHIRT (DISCIPLINE) is the title of the second episode of a large-scale research project Adumbration of the Oncoming Failure. The project consists of five consecutive episodes. It puts into context the current social problems associated with the movement of bodies (vectors). It attempts to analyze in a broader kinetic, philosophical and geopolitical context the so-called object of our time, which is the figure of a refugee and a migrant.

This episode focuses on one of the extreme means of relocation by which immigrants move from one country to another. That this means of relocation is associated with extreme physical and psychological demands is more than evident.

The body is no longer an obstacle.

But another very interesting topic looms on this floor plan. A question about the nature of the subject’s transcendence. Everyone knows well that the hallucination does not mimic the present, but that the present is hallucinatory. How long can there be a disaster without new stimuli? What happens when no one comes up with anything surprising anymore?
