Together with my girlfriend, we act as characters whose scraps of everyday life serve as material for creating visual realities.
To approach the theme of femininity being build on „traditional” values, and what’s more — the fantasy of integrating (traditional values) into the emerging image of a polish lesbian. Of how I see myself and wish to be seen by others. My fantasy(s) is that perhaps we do not have to remove them together, rather consider the why and the how some of these values need to be altered; to shift their connections to the homophobic aspect of the sociopolitical context, of Poland I live in.
I wish to bring alternative visions, maybe postcards of the future, that one day might become a reality. That I can be lesbian and spend my honeymoon in a kitch hotel. I can be lesbian and visit my girlfriend’s grandma for dinner, I can go to the countryside (the ultimate center of polish values), and to have the lesbian stay.
By using photography as a tool of connection and a choice, I invite you to join us in these moments that shed some light on how it is to be a lesbian couple in the most homophobic country in the EU. This is the fantasy we are building and want to stick on a postcard. Our small and big mysteries build on both joy and pain that are buried underneath the realm of the everyday.
