One day, my friend “A” whipped the keys from the security guard, which
opened the hatch leading to the rooftop of our block. Since then, we have
steadily climbed to the top. The view from the 16th floor was phenomenal.
You just had to be careful not to fall because sometimes it was windy. In
the background of the painting, you can see the legendary concert of the
Immanuel band, which took place on the roof at Pańska Street, shortly
before my birth. Immanuel, Brygada Kryzys—they were very important
musical phenomena for us as adolescents. Older brothers, idols. Uncle “A” played with Immanuel.
I once took a girl to this rooftop. “A” came up with the idea that he would
play the guitar and that we would serve spaghetti. It ended up raining
heavily, and my girlfriend was rather disappointed with the attraction.
