Abstract
The text presents an analysis of selected films, both Polish (Pora umierać, Dzikie róże, Cicha noc) and foreign (Grüße aus Fukushima, Con el viento) and artistic projects which address the issue of home in terms of matter/meaning and intra-activities between human and non-human subjects. The methodology of the analysis is based on post-human theories of Karen Barad and her idea of agential realism, and Rosi Braidotti and her concept of a reconfiguration of the post-human subject and of ethical micro policy. There are also some references to Félix Guattari and the idea of multiple ecologies: social, environmental, and mental.
