Tomasz Szrama
“I have chosen performance art consciously. The situation in which you, the spectators, are on one side and I am on the other suits me. I need that division in order to break it. Though everything doesn’t always go as I wish. It’s not easy.That’s why, naturally, my performances are about uneasy interpersonal relations.”

Genom att kombinera analoga, digitala, materiella och immateriella element i mina arbeten utforskar jag visuella och kroppsliga uttryck.
Jag spelar med föreställningar om konst som kulturella minnen och konst som personliga föreställningar om identitet,
Mitt arbete fokuserar på uttalanden och personliga erfarenheter av mänsklig utslagning och disintegration i samhället och kulturen.
