Dominika Olszowy. Ego Trip
(in Polish)

Zachęta – National Gallery of Art
entry included in the ticket price

Ego Trip, a little-theatre project in cooperation with actress Dominika Biernat, will take you to places that you don’t necessarily want to visit. A performed walk around the seven hills of human nature may prove uncomfortable, but will force you to do some positive self-reflection.

Dominika Olszowy is an artist working at the intersection of different media, such as video, performance, sculpture, installation, or stage design. She graduated from Marek Wasilewski’s video studio at the University of Arts in Poznań, majoring in Intermedia. Author, from 2008, of the ephemeral Sandra Gallery. Co-founder of the radical hip hop collective Cipedrapskuad. Member and co-founder of the motorbike gang Horsefuckers MC.

    Better self

    Better Self  is a reflection on the contemporary culture of individualism, its causes, effects, and side effects. Featuring actions, performance pieces, training sessions, and public workshops, the Zachęta space will become a stage, a gym, a yoga room, a therapy room, and a discussion site.
