Anna Daučíková (b. 1950) addresses various gender issues and questions involved in the search for one’s identity. Her work includes video art, performance art, and feminist art. The exhibited black-and-white sets of photographs from the Moscow/Soviet era are unfamiliar to the Slovak art scene because most of them were never exhibited there. To some extent, they help to define her later work realized primarily through video art. These photographs show us that social and political attitudes are more apparent in her work than feminist attitudes, that they are a more fundamental feature of her work.
