Publisher's Synopsis
Themes of protection, freedom, and oppression resonate across Polish artist Joanna Piotrowska's oeuvre. Bringing together all her primary photographic series and short films to date, Stable Vices crystallises and explores this spectrum of concerns. This supplementary booklet is published to coincide with a solo exhibition at LE BAL, Paris, and expands the original publication with a further series, entitled Tata. It also includes French language translations of the book's texts, by Sara De Chiara, Joanna Bednarek, and Dorota Maslowska, between them unpicking the complex tensions between domesticity and danger, aggression and tenderness that emanate from Piotrowska's celebrated work. Co-published with LE BAL, Paris, as well as a new essay by psycho-analyst Anouchka Grose
