W pończosze istota jest… Rozmowa z Karoliną Wiktor
In the Stocking the Essence Is…: Interview with Karolina Wiktor

Summary/Abstract: This interview touches on the life and work of visual artist Karolina Wiktor and her exploration of her personal experience of aphasia. Wiktor describes aphasia as ‘an explosion of the brain’ or a ‘disfunction of the intellect’. This explosion results in an inability to communicate, to recall memories or to express emotions through language. The author Wołgą przez Afazję [Down the Volga through Aphasia] has successfully recovered the ability to express herself and her experience. In her work she uses a variety of artistic media, creating visual poetry as well as artistic installation. She has also produced what she calls an alphabet of the missing font – a new type of font whose form expresses an aspect of her experience of aphasia.
