Perceptions.
Our body has such a structure that when we look back, we immediately lose sight of the direction and point we are heading towards. Although it disappears (the beginning of the end) from the field of vision, its afterimage remains and overlaps with the memories that shape our memory.The process of forgetting would therefore be a simultaneous loss of the past and the future, as well as a temporary selection of what is important and what is not.Living and looking back, seeing the past determines - together with our eyes - the direction of the face, and thus the taste, smells, touch...The kind of post-modern game of "feeling in reverse" in Alicja Kubicka's works combines the past "time of looking" with the reworked and conscious "time of seeing". It is yet another look at what already happened - and what, in relation to the reacting and feeling body, is in a continuum of "lasting time", as being involved in what is "behind".Therefore, an important but not the only direction of her search is to reveal the consequences of the dominance of the sense of sight in the history of culture, as well as of the important relationships between visual experience and its content.By creating, she addresses the problem of self-thematism - in constant deconstruction and reconstruction of modern and post-modern visual tradition.In her work, what we look at is what Alicja sees and what Others have already experienced before. Also the issues of the medium and self-referentiality, combined with Julia Kristeva's intertextuality, presented by her, allows us, the viewers, to see the reality belonging to the Other, trying to see it through its eyes. By opening up to dialogue in this way, Alicja's imagination re-reads and revives what remains and is important. The disillusioning treatments she used reveal the fictious character of the world se had seen and depicted earlier. In this situation, the image becomes a kind of a game of conventions and does not refer mimetically to reality, but essentially to its image.
