Aneta Grzeszykowska

Kate's Portfolio

2004, c-print, dibond, 100 × 100 cm

Aneta Grzeszykowska presents a personal and intimate cross-section of a young woman’s wardrobe. The photograph shows several dozen pictures of the titular Kate, her attire different in each, winter clothes to lingerie, everyday clothes to sophisticated outfits. Here the artist combines her trademark themes of identity and carnality. The assorted styling variations and random clothing choices the girl appears in become a record of the diversity of female nature, a struggle with daily rituals. Playing out a number of her own roles, Kate resembles modern-day fashion bloggers. Grzeszykowska’s work is a harbinger of the fashion blog phenomenon rampant throughout the web since about 2005, a major impact on young people’s clothing choices.
