1. A full scale photograph of myself cut into pieces - a puzzle style.

2. A group of people chosen from the NY's telephone book. As many people as pieces x 3.

3. A venue address and time of the performance.

4. I will sent letters to each of the chosen people with a piece of my photo and invitation / explanation to come on a certain date and time with the piece of photograph and stick the piece on the wall in the correct position. This way all the invited people will construct my image and so enable me to visit New York and meet them. Because the response of people is unpredictable my image will be unpredictable too -- so my presence depends completely on the hospitality and willingness of New Yorkers to participate, which is always by chance.

ARTISTS STATEMENT

Differance 4: Woda/Water (seen at right) speaks of living in two languages, Polish and English. Each language spontaneously and inexplicably occurs in thinking of different areas of life; sometimes they overlap, sometimes they are separate. Being conscious in two languages creates unpredictable moments during which one is not able to communicate in words; a 'space' between languages. This void nullifies identity, and produces a sense of displacement and confusion; although there are no words and no language, thinking however, still exists.
