The choice of subject matter is characterised by a look into the past. As in the work Whitwash from 2018. Orłowska deals with the erasure of German identity of the post-war generation in Upper Silesia.
In the series Bath, 2017 Orłowska explores the change in the perception of images with paraffin works. An electronic heating system regulates the surface condition of the wax layer in the metal display case and contributes to the disturbance of vision and the recognizability of the motif underneath. Orłowska thus not only questions the belief in images, but also in a static fixation of the past.
Anna Orłowska is an invited AMA artist in the German Dance Archive Cologne.
