More DescriptionAgata Madejska (b. Warsaw, 1979; lives and works in London and Essen) finds the motifs for her pictures, which are often recognizable only at a second glance, in urban space. In her photographs, she isolates distinctive architectural structures such as monuments or skyscrapers from the surrounding cityscapes; using the fundamental means of photography such as lighting, composition, and defamiliarization, she translates them into a new pictorial reality. The present monograph on Agata Madejska's art presents three large cycles of works from the past seven years. With an essay by Kathrin Meyer and prose pieces by Gareth Bell-Jones.
