Menschen, ihre sozialen Rollen und ihre Bilder in Beziehung zur Modernität, zur Identität, zur Spiritualität sind die Themen von Marta Deskur (geb. 1962), die zu den innovativsten Künstlerinnen Polens zählt. Ihre kritischen Annäherungen zu den Stereotypen von Familienbeziehungen, zu religiösen und identitätsstiftenden Codes haben eine unbeschwerte feminine Schärfe. Islamisches Kopftuch, der Schleier einer Nonne, Maria Magdalena, das Waschen der Füße erscheinen ebenso bezaubernd wie ambivalent.

People and their image in relation to modernity, identity, spirituality, as well as their roles in the social group, are the subjects that Marta Deskur deals with in her artistic work. While she usually uses photography and video, these are very often treated as raw material for her final creation. Deskur takes a critical approach towards all stereotypes of the family and tries to reach as deep into the question of the relationship between the sexes; by doing so she encourages everyone to consider family from a critical prospective.
