Anna Nowicka
I never fall apart, because I never fall together
Anna Nowicka’s attempt to construct a mobile (movable, mutable) self-portrait that fails to be captured and fixed. In this constant becoming she unveils a rip through which an agglomerate of a fragments that define us flows in. Individual and collective memories, beliefs, expectations, lies, dreams, promises, clichés and second hand experiences that shape body as a site of a struggle. A push out of a comfort zone, a search for a change and parade of trust. This performance of instability welcomes the inevitable fall, which brakes the representational pattern and opens the void in which self faces the multitude without desire to grab and hold.
