Ses préoccupations :
Artiste performeuse et théoricienne de l’Art, elle publie des textes dans différents magazines et catalogues sur la performance et l’art contemporain.
Elle prépare un doctorat  dans le département de l’académie des Beaux-Arts de Cracovie.
Making´ performance is for me an individual process, a constant exchange between action and cognition.  I have been becoming more and more aware of the phantasmatic nature of presence within art, which actually opens for us a whole new dimension of freedom and experiment.  
It doesn´t matter if performance is ´for real´.                                                          
I rather enter another Space – with a big ´?´.

I am inspired by Jacques Lacan´s theory of the three ´orders´ - imaginary, symbolic and real - in relation to the function of art, and by his approach to language as the key to our unconscious.  I see art as an abstract, still not fully recognized ´order´;  as a source of juissance - an imperative of (sometimes painful) fulfillment.

In my recent works called SEDU/A/CTION I am trying to transmit this ´slit´ of perception onto my presence.  The actions show my fascination with the uncanny, and search for a disconcerting balance between honest, even provocative directness and subtlety.  I propose combinations of sensual, emotional and intellectual impulses and meanings, expressing strong irreverence towards any ideological, correct expectations.  I like to consciously ´expose´ (performance) art itself as an intension of a multi-layered seducement – towards the audience, as well as the artist´s own ego.  

Considering the specificity of the festival in Marseille, it would be for me an interesting challenge to try to transmit this recent ´project´ - which is the ´art I do´, to the context of the street, which obviously imposes other relationship with the audience and the space.  
I rarely work outdoors, mainly because of the nature of my performances, but also of my own ambivalent view on the question of ´imposing´ art on people.  The key problem for me is to find such way to ´experiment´ with  myself that makes a potentially inspiring and liberating impact on viewers - rather then to make others the object of my experiment.
Therefore my proposal is based on this transition between the performance I would present at the gallery space, and the ones I would realize at chosen public places.  I believe that it would form an interesting material for the laboratory, as well as be a precious element of my current research, in which I try to analyze the most topical imperatives of performance art.  I investigate more the actual (mental, emotional, behavioral) effects of the confrontation with art rather then follow the contextual or sight specific patterns.
