Agnieszka Szczotka is a Polish-born performance artist based in London. Concerned with the politics and potentialities of the body, Szczotka’s carefully staged work contests the stability of narrative, whether personal or sociohistorical. Mining the grotesque, erotic, quotidian and transcendent, Agnieszka’s personas channel varied spirits, from the artist’s grandmother and her beloved Western-imported romance novellas to the decapitated head of Lady Jane Grey.
