Polish artist Joanna Szproch’s debut book, “Alltagsfantasie,” is a powerful exploration of female sensuality, self-empowerment, and the ongoing struggle against patriarchal structures. Published by André Frére Éditions, the book isn’t just a collection of photographs; it’s a multi-layered self-portrait that delves into the complexities of womanhood and the pursuit of authentic living.
Szproch uses the persona of Patrycja, a young model, as her alter ego, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. “I penetrate with curiosity my infinite *Alltagsfantasie* that resonates with my true self. This allows me to live authentically despite illusionary appearances. Life is a miraculous mystery,” she explains, highlighting the importance of embracing one’s innermost desires and dreams.
“Alltagsfantasie” confronts the challenges women face in navigating a society riddled with double standards.Szproch asserts, “Everything (Polish) women do is subject to constant public scrutiny. We are denied the right to pleasure and joy. This I intuitively refuse, but also I repel a female martyrdom that weakens me.” Her work serves as a bold rejection of these limitations, encouraging women to embrace their sexuality and fight for their right to self-expression.
In 2012, Szproch left Poland seeking liberation from the constraints of a conservative, Catholic society. While the #metoo movement brought vital conversations about sexual violence to the forefront, the fight for gender equality continues. As Szproch poignantly states, “some people say I have my head in the clouds. For me, it’s all true. Live your fantasy and do not let illusions trick you.” Her art serves as a reminder that the pursuit of personal freedom and authentic self-expression is an ongoing battle worth fighting.
about the Book
“Alltagsfantasie” is an open-spine, silkscreened edition of 800 copies, printed in offset. The book is 24 x 32 cm, comprising 144 pages and features text in Polish, English, French, and German.

## Joanna Szproch’s Powerful Debut: Exploring Female Fantasy and Autonomy in “Alltagsfantasie”
**Archyde: Welcoming Joanna Szproch to Archyde today! Your debut book, “Alltagsfantasie,” has been generating quite a buzz. Could you tell us a little about your inspiration behind it?**
**Joanna Szproch:** Thank you for having me! “Alltagsfantasie” is very personal to me. It’s not simply a collection of photographs; it’s a multi-layered self-portrait exploring the complexities of womanhood.
**Archyde: It’s described as a powerful exploration of female sensuality, self-empowerment, and the struggle against patriarchal structures. Could you elaborate on how your work tackles these themes?**
**joanna Szproch:** I wanted to create a space where female fantasy and autonomy are celebrated. Thru my photography, I challenge conventional notions of femininity and explore the ways in which women can reclaim their bodies and their narratives.
**Archyde: You’ve chosen a captivating title. What does “Alltagsfantasie” mean, and how does it relate to the themes you’re conveying?**
**Joanna Szproch:** “Alltagsfantasie,” in English, translates roughly to “everyday fantasy.” It speaks to the idea that fantasy isn’t something separate from our daily lives, but rather an integral part of our experiences, especially for women. It’s about owning our desires, both hidden and overt.
**Archyde: What message do you hope readers will take away from “Alltagsfantasie”?
**Joanna Szproch:** I hope it encourages women to embrace their sensuality, to explore their fantasies, and to fight for their own autonomy.
**Archyde:** Thank you Joanna for sharing your insights with us today.
