This exhibition includes two of Kozyra's video installations, "Bathhouse" and "Men's Bathhouse," both filmed at the bathhouse of the Hotel Gellert in Budapest. The installations raise questions about gender, voyeurism, and narcissism, as well as concepts of beauty and aging. Kozyra is part of a generation of young female artists who revolutionizedthe Polish art scene in the 1990s. These women have discarded the traditionalsubject matter of locality and ethnicity, instead engaging issues offeminist discourse—including identity, the body, female physicality,the contemporary concept of beauty and the other, thus moving Polishart into the realm of internationalism.
