Alltagsfantasie – a multi-layered self-portrait by launching at .p.berlin in Berlin-Wedding 16 September 2023 6-8 pm: artist talk with designer and curator at 7 pm
A publication which is itself a work of art: the art photo book Alltagsfantasie by JOANNA SZPROCH is an ode to sexual autonomy and celebrates female sensuality. In a lengthy creative process that started in 2010 and lasted until 2021, JOANNA SZPROCH created more than just a remarkable excerpt from her biography. Alltagsfantasie is a multi-layered self-portrait. PATRYCJA , a young model, takes on the role of the artist's alter ego. Temporal levels condense into an ultra-personal staging of everyday fantasy moments, a collage of past and present, fragments of dreams and memories.
Alltagsfantasie is an illustrated photo-text performance in which the artist invites us to reconsider notions of identity, gender roles and self-portrayal. It sharpens our view of the individual and societal search for self-empowerment and opens up space for a critical examination of existing power structures and norms.
