Aneta Grzeszykowska's Schizoanalytic Preparing a Body without Organs

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of the text are three short films by visual artist Aneta Grzeszykowska: "Black" (2007), "Ból głowy" ("Headache", 2008) and "Bolimorfia" ("Painmorphia", 2008), analyzed from the perspective of the Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s schizoanalysis, whose materialistic and transcendental program they proposed in "Capitalism and Schizophrenia". The central problem in the essay is Body without Organs, the basic object of schizoanalytic practice, which draws on a new concept of the unconscious and the production of desire. The text attempts to determine whether the embodiment of the artist’s experimental films allows her to prepare a Body without Organs, and, secondly, how the spectator experiences it affectively. In Deleuze and Guattari’s view, the affect is a basic element of modern cinema.
