“Angelika Fojtuch’s performance work deals with the issues of communication, the role of the body and emotions in interpersonal relations and the creation of identity, which confronts them with the mechanisms of culture. Focusing on norms of individuals’ 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, which Fojtuch often puts in uncomfortable or embarrassing situations. She often also refers to the specific social and psychological context of the performance’s site.” Joanna Sokołowska (Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, 2007)
