Performer is a story about an artist, who is looking for his own place in the world of today, permeated with punk rock energy. The protagonist here is Oskar Dawicki, one of the most unique and fascinating modern artists, who portrays himself in the film. We meet him at a critical point, when his Mentor (Zbigniew Warpechowski) is dying. Warpechowski is also the master of Najdroższy (Andrzej Chyra), Oscar's childhood friend and now also his rival, who has decided to go deeper into mainstream art and has been very successful financially. In addition, Dawicki has quite complicated relationship with Galerzystka (Agata Buzek), who is both his art dealer and lover. Performer is a mixture of performance art, acting, documentary photography, and narration: the art of Oskar Dawicki, as presented on screen, operates not only in time and space, but also in the way it is described, and in the drama witnessed by the audience.
