Small poster, titled, "13XII dzień Solidarnońci z Milicją Obywatelską" (13 XII is the day of Solidarity with the Citizens' Militia), advertises for the Pomarańczowa Alternatywa (Orange Alternative) event in Łódź on the occasion of the anniversary of Marital Law in Poland. The happening is formally titled, Pomóż Milicji – Pobij się Sam w Łodzi (Help the Militia – Beat up Yourself in Łódź). The printed areas of the flyer are done in an ombré color story. At left the printed elements are in orange ink and fade into a light yellow at the right side of the flyer. Text on the poster provides date, time, location and a brief descriptor. The text surrounds a standing nude figure donning a blindfold and holding a club. The figure has contorted themself in an extreme forward fold at the waist so that they are able to "view" their rear end. They hold the club raised in one hand, appearing ready to strike their own buttocks.
