Disorder

Domestic space becomes a stage for shifting identities and blurred boundaries in a new solo exhibition at Voloshyn Gallery, where Aneta Grzeszykowska continues her examination of the body, memory and the instability of selfhood. Working across photography, performance and hyperreal object-making, she draws on her own family and home environment to unsettle familiar hierarchies and categories.

Disorder brings together recent and earlier works in which humans adopt animal attributes, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities and the artist positions herself in alternate familial roles. At the center is The Daughter (2025), a new series created using a hyperrealistic mask reconstructed from images of Grzeszykowska at age fourteen. Worn by the artist and staged alongside relatives, the mask creates an uncanny tension between youthful features and an adult body, prompting reflections on memory, identity and the passage of time.

Additional works deepen the exploration of recognition and estrangement. In Domestic Animals (2022), pigskin masks of the artist’s face are fitted onto her dogs, while MAMA (2018) pairs her daughter with a silicone replica of the artist, photographed in constructed scenes that raise questions about surrogacy, empathy and the porous boundary between person and object.

On view from November 30 through January 10, the exhibition highlights Grzeszykowska’s ongoing interest in how bodies, human or otherwise, mediate kinship, mortality and the ways we understand ourselves within the intimate spaces we inhabit.
