Anna Janiszewska

My work lies somewhere between dreams and documentation. I’m concerned with the experimentation of photographic tools that create the possibility for looking and seeing in alternative ways. In both photographing and printing, the tools I use are often home made from various found materials including leaves, wood, glass and paper etc. These techniques often result in the images becoming abstract, multi-layered and distorted. I’m interested in combining old photographic techniques with contemporary technology. In my practice I often connect the digital and electronic elements with traditional art and analogue devices.
