Observation of sport shows, understood both as performances and practices connected with them, provides interesting and important evidence for the analysis of the Polish process of „transformation”, as well as the spirit of the 1990s, its aspirations and projects of modernity, as well as “normality” (modernity and „normality” are often treated synonymously). The film chosen for analysis, however, shows not the images designed and made to be imitated, but rather the spaces of transience, long endurance of the older (infra)structure and the mediation between different models of participation in cultural practices. What seems especially interesting is what emerges without the conscious engagement of the viewer, accidentally and unintentionally, and what becomes meaningful and can be reflected upon only in hindsight.
