Artist Statement Biography
Magdalena Wysocka and Claudio Pogo are an artist duo working together since 2016.
With backgrounds in printmaking and photography, their work bridges a variety of related mediums, from large-scale printed canvas works to handmade photobooks.
Their practice is centered around collecting and re-contextualizing found photography. Material is sourced from vintage photographs, books and other archives, stripped of its original contex and transformed to create new visual narratives.
Wysocka and Pogo utilize Risography, a Japanese stencil printing technique from the 1960’s, to express this reinterpretation. They purposefully push the risograph’s boundaries heightening the elements of chance and unpredictability in the finished pieces.Their canvases become a beautiful and uniquely tangible reflection on the passage of time and context, as well as machine-made replication vs. hand-made interpretation.
