Krzysztof Leon Dziemaszkiewicz. The Illusion of Transformation – Disappearance

In this work, the artist explores themes of identity and transformation in an unconventional way. This 20-minute narrative is not only a physical manifestation of the performer but also a deep reflection on his inner state and his relationship with the surrounding reality.

Through his body, Dziemaszkiewicz expresses his psycho-physical condition “here and now.” The use of tools and materials that enable a permanent alteration of the image becomes a symbol of the individual’s search for freedom. The disappearance and erasure of the existing image is not merely an act of destruction but, above all, a process of creating a new one. In this context, each transformation takes on new meanings shaped by the form of action and the artist’s internal structures.

Dziemaszkiewicz becomes both creator and material. His body is transformed into a living work of art that invites dialogue and personal interpretation. The contextualisation of the action, as well as its relationship with the viewer, adds layers of meaning and depth, revealing the intimacy and complexity of a process in which the artist becomes part of the very structure he has created.

Krzysztof Dziemaszkiewicz’s performance – deeply personal yet universally resonant – raises questions about identity, freedom, and the limits of perception. It compels us to reflect on who we are in the face of constant transformation.
