Szczecin, Poland, 1976. Lives and works in Szczecin and New York.

Monika Wiechowska has been traveling since she left Poland at

the age of seventeen. Always a foreigner, her photographs reveal

the search for identity in the dreamy faculty of memory. They

are informed by the past, while reflecting the ephemeral quality of mental images. The juxtaposition of elements borrowed from the intimate realm with those of a more obvious sphere define some of the characteristics of Wiechowska’s work.
