Daniel Kotowski
Artist
I am an indicator of incompleteness, inconsistent with the norm, because I am Deaf and I do not use phonic speech. Talking about incompleteness and completeness in the existential dimension, I analyse their potential. I am either considering the possibility of fulfilling expectations of completeness or protesting against it. I am looking for the limit of ambivalence. My artistic practice is the starting point for reflection on the ways of existence. It is based on research where I use stories of those who are incomplete and complete. I observe their experiences and their interpersonal relationships. The way we are perceived by other individuals. My works concern the mechanism of power over biology, social and linguistic communication and social policy. They often refer to the concept of biopower and biopolitics. Based on my own experiences and observations, I develop my own strategy for managing my communication tool or body. I bring back the memory of incompleteness. I use various forms of expression, such as performances, design, installations, photography, objects and videos.
