To Have and Have Not
Wiktor Dabkowski
WONDERLAND (2012)
Forty thousand European bureaucrats shuttle back and forth among Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg, where they generate an incomprehensible volume of paperwork and regulations. They move in a quasi-futuristic world of luxury, privilege and secrecy. In part out of irritation, in part out of fascination, Wiktor Dabkowski travelled to the heart of European might, in an attempt to comprehend a culture of lobbyists and exchanges in the corridors of power. He found himself in a labyrinth that could only be navigated with knowledge and skills that outsiders lack.
