I will be exhibiting video and photographic work in Art Sydney 08 as part of the Off The Wall section.
"Janice Kuzkowski's videos and photographs could be seen as 'extreme portraiture', exposing the instinctive responses of individuals pushed to their extremes. The artist employs mild forms of torture including pressurised air and electric shocks to generate intuitive and primal facial expressions in her subjects. The strength of the works lies both in this unique process as well as the stark visual quality and ambiguity of the final portraits. Some of the most shocking and enigmatic media images of recent history have been 'torture portraits' of a far more sinister kind, so it is timely to pose the question - What part of ourselves are expressed in the extremes of human venerability?"
