Czarna Madonna

Jagoda Wisniewska

2016

Czarna Madonna is a photographic project realised within one year working closely with my subjects, to through their presence depict love’s harmful sides and fantastical aspects of family environment. Inspired by mysterious events of my grandmother’s childhood, I represent the duality that family relationships have. Czarna Madonna deals with aspects of photographic performativity, loss and creativity, where documentary and fiction constantly overlap. The project examines the very simple division between good and bad, real and imaginary and the constant flow of those forces in life.
