In Am I in the picture? Zuzana Kakalíková explores the notion of self-portrait. Inspired by the photography of Francesca Woodman – and her gesture of self-emancipation through re-appropriating and staging her body – Zuzana explores her body, putting it in relation with objects and spaces through a series of tableaux vivants. Far from any glorifying exhibition, never seeking to hide her vulnerability, she bares herself while seeking her own image with sensitivity.

By fragmenting the representation of the female stereotype, she tries to break away from it and create another way of observing the intimate.

Zuzana Kakalíková is an actress, performer and choreographer. She studied acting at the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica and later at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. Her interest in movement led her to Studio Matejka, where she collaborated with a team of artists researching physical expression and actor's presence during her residence at the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw.

As performer, Zuzana has collaborated with Romeo Castellucci, Chiara Guidi, Matej Matejko, Vivien Wood, Sandy Flinto and Pierric Grobet, Angelica Liddell, Ludivine Anberrée, and Compagnie Eddi van Tsui.

She co-founded, with her partner Guillaumarco Froidevaux, Compagnie TDU in Switzerland and is currently presenting her work in its productions.
