The article describes a discovery related to drawings made by Bruno Schulz in the 1930s. When the drawings are turned upside down, some of the faces portrayed in the work are transformed into other faces with demonic features. This technique, previously unknown in Polish graphic art, nonetheless has a long tradition in Europe, and Schulz appears to be part of this tradition. Such deformations, transgressing traditional boundaries of art, and containing an element of mysticism are also present in Schulz strategies of imagination, present in his written work.

The work of Bruno Schulz is often juxtaposed with the oeuvre of Franz Kafka by pointing out the similarity in the world-visions of both authors. None-the-less, the interpretative potential in comparing Schulz with Walter Benjamin has not yet been explored. Both tried to describe the modernity, starting from rethinking their own childhood; in works of both of them, one can find traces of fascination with Jewish mysticism. First was a part of the urban culture of Paris and Berlin, the latter was inspired by the landscape of Drohobycz.

It has already been indicated that Bruno Schulz's work has its root in the cultural borderland and that it undertakes the subject of the relation between the centre and the periphery. However, it has never been compared with the Polish myth of 'Kresy', in which these issues are equally important. Schulz's prose has been read as a literature lacking any distinct references to ethnic or national issues, since the mimesis of realistic representation is not found here. What occurs is the mimesis of process - imitating general cultural mechanisms, like the functioning of the centre/periphery opposition. According to the article's thesis, in Schulz's writing occurs a deconstruction of the indicated opposition: it is imitated, negated, and finally, ironically problematized. This deconstruction has been described using postcolonial categories of hybridization, mimicry and palimpsesticism.
