CALL IT AS YOU WANT. I always want to do this / 2010

Performance "CALL IT AS YOU WANT. I've Always Wanted to Do It," Entropia Gallery, Wrocław, 2010.

One of my first performances after graduation and a turning point—for the first time, I used my naked body as my primary medium. Although hidden beneath fabric, it became a tool for building tension, vulnerability, and physical presence.

The performance took place in winter. I lay naked at the entrance to the gallery, covered only by a semi-transparent, flexible white fabric stretched between the floor and the wall—white as an unwritten canvas. Entering viewers brought snow and mud inside, gradually staining the sterile surface. I writhed between their legs, provoking movement and uncomfortable closeness. In the finale, I crawled into a painting frame the size of my body (170 x 170 cm), trying with all my might to escape.
