Up-and-coming Polish artist Weronika Gęsicka has attracted attention in recent years with her Traces series of photomontages using American stock photos from the 1950s and 60s. Reconstructing photos with a touch of dark humour, she paints over the memory, making visible the unspoken conflicts and desires that lie hidden inside the happy-looking people in the pictures. In works that house a new presence, a transformed “truth” is revealed, and the vintage furniture-filled exhibition space gives viewers the sensation of having lost their way in a parallel other-dimension world.
