Agnes Gryczkowska / NAKED

Agnes' confrontational presence shifts between extremities and deconstructs the boundaries between the performer and the audience. Her performances are simultaneously masochistic and submissive, painful and pleasurable, brutal and emotional – the chained body and mouth restraints, fear and vulnerability gradually get replaced with the feeling of empowerment, anger and hedonistic pleasure – becoming a call for self empowerment and a criticism of despotism, hierarchy, inequality and any pathological use of power.
