“Iwona created a video that records a performance in which she observed the gallery space from the street for seven hours—the average daily opening time of an exhibition space. This video is now projected in its entirety onto the window that was the very site of the action.

Through the mise en abyme created by this setup, the piece raises, in a vertiginous way, questions about the dynamics of looking within the exhibition space: who is looking at whom, and at what? It also reveals the performative nature of the gaze, as Iwona’s presence – reduced to the minimal act of looking – elicited a range of reactions such as curiosity, amusement, unease, and irritation.”
