Collection: Aneta Grzeszykowska

Aneta Grzeszykowska (born 1974, Warsaw) is a Polish artist whose practice centres on photography, video, and installation, with a sustained focus on self-erasure, identity substitution, and the instability of the photographic image. Working across restaging, appropriation, and archival manipulation, Grzeszykowska investigates how identity is constructed, circulated, and undone through photographic and filmic conventions.

Her best-known works include Album (2005–2006), in which she digitally removed herself from family photographs, and Untitled Film Stills (2006), a 70-photograph remake of Cindy Sherman’s canonical late-1970s series in which Grzeszykowska re-performs Sherman’s fictional feminine selves, producing a doubled image haunted by repetition, authorship, and photographic memory. The series was presented at the Berlin Biennale and established her as a significant figure in post-conceptual photography and feminist image culture internationally.

Grzeszykowska is represented by Raster Gallery, Warsaw, which was central to the emergence of a younger Polish contemporary art scene in the 2000s. This collection brings together printed matter and ephemera connected to her practice and exhibitions.
