“God in Supermarket”: Krzysztof Siwczyk’s Media Poetry
Abstract
Otto touches upon the issue of the influence of technological development and latest news broadcasting techniques on art, especially on literature. The new type of writing, considering thematic content and technical solutions, arising from this interaction is termed by Otto media “literature” and exemplified by the poetry of Krzysztof Siwczyk, the younger generation poet. Otto, like Siwczyk, asks the question about the place of God in reality in which everything is saleable. In the author’s view, God appears to be a symbol of mystery, a timeless value, i.e. an antidote against the ills of a commercialised world. The God of Siwczyk is on the shelf next to the advertised products, is one of the products, but - as Otto says - although this belief is prevalent, Siwczyk shows the omnipresence of God in every aspect and moment of our life.
