In her artistic practice, Kasia Wandycz focuses on paper as both a substance  and a subject, questioning its communicative role in our daily lives. Her work is a reflection of the value paper holds in our society, and indirectly, on the impact of electronic media devices. Their destruction is not as spectacular as the tearing and rotting of paper, but the far reaching effects of their mass production and consumption are all the more devastating to our ecosystem.

Autorenporträt
Born in the United States, of Polish origin, Kasia Wandycz graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Arts from Connecticut College, USA. She also studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Poland. She lives and works in Paris and was a photographer for more than 25 years for the French weekly magazine Paris-Match.  In her artistic practice, she focuses on paper as both a substance and a subject. In scraps of used, printed and torn paper, she finds poetry, and in her photographs, they gain new existence and meaning. Printed paper, which we encounter during our walks in public places, is a part of commercial advertising or political propaganda. Wandering around contemporary metropolises, including Paris, which she knows so well, she draws her own reporter’s map of cities “en flâneur”, transforming the chosen material into a document of time’s passing. Aragon, in the Villager of Paris, described with nostalgia the structure of the city transformed by modern boulevards.
