Jagoda Wisniewska

About

I’m Jagoda Wiśniewska (b. 1987), I work with photography and video, and I am based between Switzerland and Poland. 

My work explores intimate themes: particularly family relationships, and the broader investigations around womanhood and the maternal. 

I am fascinated by the performative nature of photography and the layered dynamics of human relationships. Psychology informs much of my research.

Alongside my personal projects, I balance my time with commissioned work, collaborating on editorial and commercial assignments.
