Agata Madejska

 

 

 

Through post-(and)photographic processes, sculptural interventions, and installation, Agata Madejska (b.1979, Warsaw, Poland), delves into the multiple ways in which power can be manifest. With their liquidus feel, her works question the smooth façades of language, architecture, and public agreements – forms that hold associative or symbolic value. In turn, Agata poses deeply philosophical questions which demand viewers to think and re-think how we have come to know not only our world but ourselves in this world-space – how and why.

 

Agata graduated from Folkwang University of the Arts, Essen (Germany) in 2007 and the Royal College of Art, London (UK) in 2010. She lives and works between London and Vienna (Austria) where she is the professor of Art and Time | Photography at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
