TRACK(S) at Present Performance Festival 2015 Outdoor version, Gdańsk, Brzeźno district
Joanna Duda - concept, live music
Katarzyna Pastuszak - dance/performance
TRACK(S) is a sculptural, sound and performance installation created by Joanna Duda, one of the most interesting personalities of the younger generation on the European music scene. Duda a Polish born artist projects nostalgic and rare VHS footage of her childhood in Poland during the communist regime over a tunnel like installation made simply out of VHS tapes. The VHS tape and video camera were a rare technology in Poland during the 1990's due to the tight political grip of communism, hence very few now adult Poles have no form of video documentation of their past. During the installation period a young woman – Katarzyna Pastuszak - performs in white body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion at the end of the tunnel. The audience confronted by the figure often enters the narrowing tunnel to identify whether the figure is real or an illusion. The space in which the viewer enters is filled with a live set created by Duda who is hidden within the installation. TRACK(S), ones trail left behind or the piece(s) that make up a complete music set is undeniably a powerful confrontation leaving the audience with indescribable audio/visual sensation.
