Anna Nowicka's work explores the choreography of the imaginary and the relationship between dreaming and dancing bodies. She develops a new poetic narrative that skilfully alternates between inner states, characters, flickering gestures, formal dances and atmospheric landscapes. As in a dream, all these forms of being emerge from an embodied experience and dissolve into the space of possibility.

 

The term Uvula comes from the Latin word for uvula, and here represents a physical invitation to create life.

This work was commissioned by the Polish National Gallery Zachęta in Warsaw as a response to Piotr Uklański's sculpture Untitled (Wide Open). In 'Uvula', Anna Nowicka asks how one can go on in times of despair and turns to dreams as a remedy against a hopeless future.
