Within the framework of the exhibition, alongside an extensive presentation of works from different periods of Katarzyna Kozyra's work, a casting room will be set up where anyone who wants to, on the basis of what they have seen, will be able for a while to perform the role of the artist and interpret it according to their own vision of the artist. Archive materials and documentary films make it possible to follow Kozyra's successive changes, her different incarnations: as Olympia, female voyeur, opera diva, drag queen or cheerleader from the cycle In Art Dreams Come True.
The material that emerges and is recorded in the process of the casting will be presented at the museum. This material will form the basis on which the artist will choose the cast of the new film, and also rework the existing script. The casting taking place at the exhibition is open to anybody who wants to take their chance. The exhibition will be accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue containing a detailed biography of the artist's life and work, as well as material and fragments from the future film.
