Aneta had caught my attention few years ago when I was looking for contemporary polish photographers. I was asking myself what the photography is about today...does it tell the truth or is it another medium for expressiveness of the artist's free spirit. At the beginning of the invention photographs were to capture and document the reality... since then the world had gone a long way. Aneta’s key medium is photography used instrumentally as a tool for realisation of advanced artistic - ontological exercises. Grzeszykowska is fascinated in a role photography plays in documentation and creation of a person identity. One of her main subjects is her own identity, which she plays with on a various levels.
In 2006 she created ‘Album’. The work contains approx. 200 photos from a privet family archive. From each one of them , using Photoshop, Grzeszykowska erased herself creating specific photo autobiography-from birth up to present day-deprived of a main character.
‘Album’ was presented on 4.Beinnale in Berlin 2006 where privet flat at Auguststrasse became a gallery showroom for this unusual exhibit.
