In her performance, Nadia Markiewicz represents the fictional character of the Lonesome Wing, a being born with a wing in place of a hand. Through delicate and lyrical choreography, the Lonesome Wing explores unusual forms of beauty and blurs the boundaries between normality and otherness. Markiewicz is one of the most prominent Polish artists of the youngest generation. She works primarily with performance, video, object-based art, and installation. Her work draws on artistic research into the history of bodies that do not conform to notions of “healthy” and “normal” physicality.
