Am I in the picture?

In 2017 the year of the #Metoo and Cierny piontek (“Black Friday” in Poland) movements, Zuzana Kakalikova initiated a reflection on her image, her place, her relationship with space and places as a woman. She immerses herself in the work of Francesca Woodman (1958-1981), an emancipated American artist known for her disturbing, ambivalent, and timeless photographs in which she often stages herself. Kakalikova transposes Woodman’s approach into a performative language. At a time when feminist gains are under threat, she questions, with this first solo, the image of women and the way we look at them, creating living tableaux with a strong visual and symbolic impact.
