Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to describe the work of Polish performer Ewa Zarzycka in the perspective of trasmedia autobiographical artistic practices. The metaphor of ‘circumlocution’ in the title of the article captures the specific perifrastic peculiarities of Zarzycka’s performances and texts, that constantly ‘circulate in the orbit’ of the language around notions of art, the artistic situation and the artist’s life. Most of all, the objects of interpretation in the article are ‘spoken performances’, ‘written drawings’ and notebooks, authored by Ewa Zarzycka, as various artistic practices that are connected by narrative and autobiographical quality, related in a specific way to the corporeality of voice and handwriting in transmedia ‘circulation’ between writing, sound and picture.
