Skinformer

Skinformer

Skin­for­mer by Aneta Grzeszykow­ska offers a radical elaboration of ear­lier soft sculp­tural objects created by the artist, a phenomenal view into the separate existen­tial universe created by her.

Face Book

Face Book

The new photography series by Aneta Grzeszykow­ska is another radical self-​portrait of the artist. The point of depar­ture this time is 19th- and 20th-century photographs documen­ting psycho-​physiological experiments on the human body and the medical archives.

Mama

Mama

A series of photographs showing the artist’s daugh­ter Fran­ciszka playing with a doll—a life-​size, waist-​up replica of the artist herself.

Beauty Mask

Beauty Mask

Using the cosmetic masks refer­red to in the title, the artist creates a gal­lery of denatured, grotesque images. The female face hidden under the mask is sub­jec­ted to clear defor­mation and loses its charac­teristic physiognomic features. The violent nature of advan­ced cosmetic treat­ments leads here to an association with extreme sexual prac­tices, combat sports, and criminal disguise.

Skin Heads

Skin Heads

Leather dolls—or rather head studies—were made by Grzeszykow­ska using scraps of material retrieved from secon­dhand leather clothing found in thrift stores.

Untitled (model)

Untitled (model)

In this series of large-​format photographs, the artist brings her double to life. The effigy manufac­tured by a specialist firm is a faith­ful copy of her head and torso on a 1:1 scale. Grzeszykow­ska documents the process of applying makeup, eyelashes and eyebrows, and the framing and reduced distance create the illusion of con­fron­ting a real person.

Negative Make-Up

Negative Make-Up

(Polski) W serii „Negative Make-​Up” Grzeszykow­ska bawi się kolorowym makijażem. Zdjęcia wykonane w kon­wen­cji oficjal­nych por­tretów do dokumentów to z jednej strony fotografia bardzo schematyczna, skon­wen­cjalizowana, która równocześnie gra z obrazem kobiety w kulturze.

Iranian Film Stills

Iranian Film Stills

74 photographs from the Iranian Film Stills series document Aneta Grzeszykowska’s stay in Iran in March 2015.

Franciszka 2021

Franciszka 2021

The white woolen doll represents an image that the artist has of her own daugh­ter, Fran­ciszka – in year 2021.

Selfie

Selfie

Grzeszykowska tworzy groteskowy, rzeźbiarski kalam­bur: na gładkich, skórzanych tłach eks­ponuje naturalistycz­nie opracowane modele frag­mentów własnego ciała wykonane ze świńskiej skóry. Na naszych oczach składa z części swój autopor­tret, nie­codzienne selfie.

Clock

Clock

Clock is a 12-hour long video in which Grzeszykow­ska per­forms choreographed dance compositions.

The video is shown in sync with hours of the day – the artist’s image is mul­tiplied number of times to cor­respond with the time of day. With each new hour, new com­position unfolds with another ‘copy’ of the artist added to the scene.

Franciszka

Franciszka

The white woolen dolls are hand sewn by Grzeszykow­ska. They represent an image that the artist has of her own daugh­ter, Fran­ciszka – in dif­ferent, future stages of her life. Each of the white dolls will be com­pleted by a photographic equivalent of Fran­ciszka when she reaches a par­ticular age.

Negative Book

Negative Book

Negative Book decon­structs positive photography and as such forms a con­tinuation of the artist’s reflec­tions on the charac­ter of the photographic medium and its various transformations.

A paradoxical, cinematic study of the sexual act.

Love Book

Love Book

The artist’s feminist way of per­ceiving image and art finds its ful­lest and most direct expres­sion in the Love Book.

Bolimorphy

In Bolimor­phy we wit­nes­ses a con­stant mul­tiplication of the artist’s body – with every minute it becomes more and more machine-​like.

Headache

Headache

Aneta Grzeszykow­ska in three incar­nations and some more pieces. Body: head and its other parts. “Headache” begins with an explosion, which tears her body apart into some loose parts, and after that, in accor­dance with Hitchcock’s clas­sic rule, the ten­sion gradually rises.

A filmic fan­tasy on the absolute abyss.

Untitled Film Stills

Untitled Film Stills

A precise, and truly Warsaw, remake of Cindy Sherman’s seven­ties clas­sic “Untitled Film Stills” star­ring Aneta Grzeszykowska.

Album

Album

The “Album” com­prises over 200 photographs from Aneta Grzeszykowska’s private family archive. Using Photoshop, the artist has removed her own figure from each pic­ture, thus creating a peculiar photographic autobiography.

Untitled (Portraits)

Untitled (Portraits)

Grzeszykowska’s por­traits in an amazin­gly illusionist way depict people, whose nonexistence is dif­ficult to acknowledge.
