Burning Head - Antoni Karwowski


Antoni Karwowski (1948, Poland)

I observe the process of permanent deconstruction of memory by the reality around me.
In this context, I put questions about identity.
The relationship between past and present aspects of looking for the universal order.
Performance, enables me to fascinating "game" between the world of reality and remembered.
Capture a sense of time and "influence" on the course of past events, modify them, build new
configurations and their transfer to the real space.
In the performance I can find the form for my ideas, intuition and biologism of the body.
