Eartnail, wild endive, witch gowan. Bitter in taste, detoxifying in effect, and protector of Gdansk (PL). Dandelion emerged for a co-creative artistic research trajectory hosted by Viktória Kaslik (HU), starting in 2022. Running for more than two years on the axis of the Carpathian basin and the Baltic seashores, making Viktória return to Gdansk twice, it was dandelions leading the inquiry on how contemporary human-made law is shaping the way we relate to land. The inquiry resulted in a protocol in which, in her capacity as a jurist, as a performance act, she transferred the legal power she received from the nation-state as a practicing jurist.

The protocol invites the reader to establish their relation with dandelions, to eliminate the old legal structures, and to give space to the establishment of dandelion laws to emerge. The protocol was given a visual world by Edyta Majewska-Rosińska (PL), and the transfer of legal power was witnessed and co-performed by Gdansk citizens, and co-choreographed by Aleks Borys (PL).


“She is growing for the light, to reach the Sun and eventually to become the Moon, living in eternal cyclicality. She is travelling to places where her message needs to be heard, where her nurturing is needed, where water needs to be kept, where the condensed soil needs to be loosened, where the concrete needs to be cracked. Mniszek Lekarski is cracking the concrete with her timing. She came to retrieve our broken fabric. It is not about reclaiming any claim, yet it is sourced and pouring from beyond the physical plant body, from a field of the archetypal dandelion-ness. From the cosmos constituted of an invisible fabric, a semi-terrestrial fascia glues us together. She perhaps invites us to rejoin, to ask to see what is, and ask again what laws are.”
