Daniel Kotowski is a Deaf person who uses Polish Sign Language rather than speech in his daily interactions. In the video “SIGNING/SINGING”, he addresses the appropriation of sign language by contemporary visual culture. The “hearing” art milieu often approaches sign language exclusively as an aesthetic activity. Kotowski explores that fetishization – which also involves the Deaf themselves – using the video to show how various excluded groups reclaim visibility.
