1959-1978 (51-58/58)

The years 1958-1979 encompass Zbigniew Libera's childhood and youth. Important date is the year of finishing high school. It was the time of first artistic activities - since childhood Zbigniew Libera showed interest in visual arts.

His first dabblings with film and photography began with playing Indians. Already then, the yet undiscovered artist registered images, which anticipate his later video works. In 1977 Libera passed his A-levels and started studies at Plactis Education department at Mikołaj Kopernik University in Toruń, where he stayed until 1980. since the beginning of his studies we date Libera's contacts with the artistic community of Toruń and Łodz.

In 1978 the “necessary errata” is made – the work which was supposed to be an innlustration for an article in „Odgłosy“ magazine; in the end the article wasn't published and the work prepared for it survived in unedited form. Thanks to the support of his mother's friend, Włodzimierz Adamiak, Libera also put his first steps in painting („Portrait of Włodzimierz Adamiak“, oil on canvas) and drawng („Girl“, pencil on paper).
