Autumn RESIDENTS 2019

Natalia sajewicz

(Poland)

Print Series. Exhibited at Patyolat, 2019.

“As an artist, I am interested in the social context and heritage of different countries in Central and Eastern Europe, including the constructed concepts “West” and “East”, and the stereotypes connected to them. In my work, I use everyday observations of reality to mock, satirise, analyse, and reflect on the paradoxes of modern life.”
