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.
