Katarzyna Kozyra

Katarzyna Kozyra (born 1963) is a Polish video artist. She graduated in 1993 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and received a Paszport Polityki award in 1997. She has exhibited internationally since 1997, at venues including Brown University and Carnegie International in the U.S.

Her art was involved in a 1999 censorship incident in Poland. Her photo portrait of Slawomir Belina in a Warsaw exhibition in 2000 was also controversial for its alleged eroticism, as his anus was in the centre of the composition.

Since 2003 Kozyra has received a DAAD grant, and has developed a new form of performance involving operatic singing.
