The present monograph on Agata Madejska’s art presents three large cycles of works from the past seven years. Agata 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.
