Ses préoccupations :
“Angelika Fojtuch’s performance work deals with the issues of communication, the role of body and emotions in interpersonal relations and the creation of identity confronting them with the mechanisms of culture. Focusing on gender questions and norms of individual’s appearance in public space, she explores and crosses the  borders of  social conduct in order to reveal collective latent tensions, neglected fantasies or traumatic fears. Her work is usually conceived as a process of interaction with an audience, that Fojtuch often puts in uncomfortable or embarrassing situations. She often refers also to the specific social and psychological context of the performance’s site.” Joanna Soko_owska (Zacheta National Gallery of Art, PL-Warsaw)

Elle dit :
 “Performance-Art is a live form of art, that an artist creates out of personal resources. The center is the possibility to communicate directly with others without words on different levels - even sometimes more understandable and precisely. The energy, or the situation, or the moment he creates is a personal manifestation of privacy and cultural context. In the moment of the public presentation he is meeting others and share with them the moment of creation. In this way performance-art is more a pure form of communication than a form of visual image. The value of the art piece is more the moment of the transfer of an immanent context, that wants to communicate a view or an opinion and not only to show a nice picture, that limits the free space that is created. Performance art breaks structural borders for to have a free field of communication and with this an exchange of values, natures and originalities.“
