Agnieszka Polska (b. 1985) lives and works in Berlin. The artist’s visually powerful explorations of fictionalised histories or half-forgotten figures of the Polish avant-garde, are usually situated somewhere between technology, and political and religious ideology. Her works sit at the boundary of the past and present, digitality and reality. Polska’s video works and installations employ found material and computer-generated media which she subjects to subtle interventions, creating uncanny yet familiar environments that address sociopolitical issues and challenge viewers to examine their own perceptions of the world.

Polska studied at the Faculty of Arts of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, at Faculty of Graphic Arts of Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, and in the class of Hito Steyerl at University of the Arts in Berlin.
