Gerda Kochanska

My field of research is the “state of things”, its seeming identity, its interpretation (to be read “what would others say?”) determined by each one’s “state of self".

I use photography to break through the visible surface and discover my own emotional depth.

I try to dissect my visual and emotional perception in order to disassemble my own clichés, the heritage of the personal and the public.
