Szymoniak is active as a performer. Her activities often feature the motif of struggle – physical and psychic – with oneself, one’s own body and matter. The artist writes: “For me performance is a form of expression that allows me to express myself in countless ways and to breathe life into a seeming or innocent activity and thus convey something that may have been imperceptible.”
