The performance “Two Colors. Single-selection” begins with a look at the body, noting its differences, boundaries, separateness and shame. It is a perception of the body entangled in disease, always understood through its prism.

“Port Wine Stain” are capillary malformations, birthmarks on the skin in shades of red. During the show, they will become matter and a tool for exploring what individuality and intimacy are. The body will become social, subjected to opinion and used, adapted to expectations and constructs.
The situation is also a transfer of power into the hands of the audience and the final outcome will depend on them. Participants will be given instructions to perform, but will ultimately have to decide which path they will take. After that, there will be no turning back, once made, the decision is permanent.
Barbara Stańko-Jurczyńska (she, her) is a Polish feminist, visual artist and member of two collectives: FAK – Feminist Creative Action, and Basta – an anti-fascist collective. In her practice, she treats her body as sculptural matter and refers to the port wine stain – a disease with which she shares her life. Her activities are based on artivism and working with the local community.
