Pop art, urban art, painting? Kasia Wandycz’s work is on the border of all these arts. If the final image is a photograph, the artist plays with codes to better give us free rein to our interpretation. By restoring a part of the collective memory that is written in urban space, it allows us to re-enchant an entire world prey to oblivion or destruction.

Each work tells a new story, which everyone can write. A creative gesture through a look, it is available for a new appropriation by the person who looks at it, inspired by the treasure hunt that it has created: what posters are these, what are they? what we see, who does it make us think of? We thus rediscover the pleasure of looking, of questioning ourselves, of searching. As we are faced with the profusion of images, this downtime is a precious gift given to us.

Kasia Wandycz’s goal remains above all to make us perceive the beauty of a shape, a color, a thickness of tears. To apprehend the beauty of these battered but living papers, to feel their volume, their relief. Distortions of reality, poetic works, these photographs compose a visual and graphic universe that gives rise to emotion, joy and nostalgia. Leaving the anonymity of the street, they enter a new space of contemplation when the walls of the city give way to the walls of a gallery.
