Marta Zgierska

A Polish visual artist born in 1987. In her artistic practice she deals with the subject of trauma, liminal experiences and work with the body. In her current works, she explores the canons of feminine beauty and undermines the pressure that contemporary society exerts on the woman’s image. She often sets women up as her subject, deepening the intimate aspect of personal work. In 2015, she was named one of Lens Culture’s Top 50 Emerging Talents. In 2016, she won one of the most prestigious photography awards – Prix HSBC pour la Photographie – as well as Daylight Photo Awards, Reminders Photography Stronghold Grant, FotoLeggendo Giovanni Tabo Prize and Kolga Tbilisi Photo Award.
