Abstract

The starting point in this interview with Ewa Zarzycka is the shortest definition of performance, according to which performance is only “man, space and time”. This definition is an occasion for the artist’s reflections, which step by step lead to issues related to the transmediality of her artistic practices and the use of the archive. Among the main topics addressed in the interview are the blurring of boundaries between image and text as well as the elimination of divisions within art and thinking about the media. Special emphasis is given to the problem of the rooting of Zarzycka’s performances and works in narrative, which is related to the linguistic “germ” of each of her performance projects.
