Paris Photo <br> Aneta Grzeszykowska and Zofia Rydet

Raster presents a dialogue between two recognized female artists from two generations: Zofia Rydet (1911-1997) and Aneta Grzeszykow­ska (b.1974). In their works a creative approach to the photographic medium merges with deep social and existen­tial reflec­tion. Both—Rydet’s photomon­tages and Grzeszykowska’s sub­ver­sive self-portraits—focus on the image of the female body and engage in empathetic polemics with its various cul­tural roles. They play with the visual vocabulary of sur­realism, infusing it with moving, con­tem­porary con­tent. Rydet’s work has been rediscovered through retrospec­tive shows at MoMA Warsaw (2015) and Jeu de Paume in Tours (2017), while Grzeszykow­ska is exhibiting widely at major institutional shows, inc­luding the recent Venice Bien­nale (2022) and Yokohama Trien­nale (2024). The presen­tation con­sists of precisely selec­ted vin­tage prints by Rydet, juxtaposed with selec­tions from the most impor­tant cycles of Grzeszykowska’s work, inc­luding both dar­kroom and pig­ment prints.
