Agata Madejska | available works
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.
