Feeler

Daniel Kotowski

Warsaw

Feeler wanders among people, absorbing their emotions. He tries to get his feelings out and talk about them. He expresses them, calls them and experiences them with you. The question about emotions is sometimes difficult, and the answer often turns out to be intimate, or maybe it is the opposite? Should talking about emotions be part of your daily routine? During the performance, Feeler is a tool you can use.

 

Daniel Kotowski is a Deaf artist and performer. Born in 1993, he currently resides in Warsaw. He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (2018) and the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw (2016) is a PhD student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. His artistic practice is the starting point for a reflection on the ways of existence. He observes experiences and interpersonal relationships, as well as the way we are perceived by other individuals. His works often refer to the concept of biopower and biopolitics. He is particularly interested in the categories of "completeness" and "incompleteness," their ambivalence and hidden potential.
