Polish artist made fun of old American photos... and improved them

Surely you have had such dreams when everything seems real, but still something goes wrong. Polish artist Veronika Gesicka decided to fantasize about this topic, and her collages perfectly convey this awkward atmosphere of a strange dream. They show a distorted reality, but at the same time nightmarish scenes seem quite possible.

"The project is based on vintage photos from the image bank. Most of these photos are from the American archives of the 1950s and 1960s," says the artist. Among them are family scenes, vacation memories, everyday life stuck between truth and fiction. It is difficult to understand whether they are spontaneous or staged shots.

"We don't know anything about the true connection between the people in the pictures. One can only guess at the degree of truthfulness of their gestures and views. Are they actors playing happy families, or real people whose photos are for sale in the image bank?" Veronika Gesichka asks.
