About Agnieszka Maria Zieba

Agnieszka Maria Zieba was born in 1978 in Bochnia near Krakow, Poland. Since 2001 she works as a photographer and video artist in Cologne, Germany. Her works shows a conceptual form of photography with preferences for animals and a sence for nature, embedded in surreal worlds. She transfers the viewer in a world, where nothing seems to be as it looks like. A pink cloud floats over giraffes, dogs covered with flower garment and embedded and melted with natural element into a complete unity. Agnieszka Zieba shows us her world, a better world and leads our viewing habits to absurdity. Her intention is: The snapshot of beauty - while maintaining a very reduced, elegant image composition - and especially the preservation of this beauty for the future. Especially the photographic self-confidence by Agnieszka Zieba without moralizing, also creates in us as viewers a whole new consciousness. It brings us to throw on the pure aesthetics and adventure as well as the impartiality and experimentation of her pictures a changed view of the world and life. And so is the trip in their dreamlike atmospheres, in which they, their paradise shows us their vision of the ideal coexistence of humans and animals, their longing country on earth, an appeal to our openness and our audacity, there to do the same. It’s a motley, life-affirming thought. Her pictures are currently exhibited in galleries in France, Germany, Swiss and Poland.
